Clean Water, Healthy Life.
Your Trusted Partner for Pure, Safe Water
Access to clean and safe water is a daily necessity for every Kenyan household and business. However, the water storage tanks that are crucial to this access can become breeding grounds for harmful bacteria, algae, sediment, and other contaminants over time. This not only compromises the quality of your water, leading to potential health risks, but also causes wear and tear on your tank and plumbing systems. Ignoring regular tank maintenance can result in foul odors, discolored water, and the spread of waterborne diseases, turning a vital resource into a liability.
At KiTank Cleaning Services, we provide a comprehensive and professional solution to ensure your water remains pure and safe for consumption. We are a team of certified professionals dedicated to restoring the purity of your water through a meticulous, transparent process. We don’t just clean; we sanitize, inspect, and ensure your entire water storage system is in optimal condition.

The KiTank cleaning Procedure
Our Water Tank Cleaning and Disinfection Process
We believe in complete transparency. At KiTank, we follow a rigorous, systematic water tank cleaning procedure to guarantee a thorough and effective cleaning every time. Each step is carefully executed to the highest standards of safety and hygiene.
Step 1: On-Site Assessment & Safety Preparation
Our certified technicians begin with a thorough inspection of your tank, assessing its condition and identifying any structural issues like cracks or leaks. We then implement strict safety protocols, including wearing full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and shutting off the water inlet to prepare for a safe and controlled cleaning environment.
Step 2: Controlled Drainage & Sludge Removal
Using submersible pumps and industrial-grade vacuums, we carefully drain the tank and meticulously remove all accumulated sludge, sediment, and debris from the floor and walls. This waste is managed and disposed of responsibly in accordance with Kenya’s NEMA (National Environment Management Authority) guidelines.
Step 3: High Pressure Water Jet Cleaning & Deep Scrubbing
This is our deep clean phase. All internal surfaces—walls, floor, and the underside of the roof—are manually scrubbed to loosen ingrained dirt. We then use high-pressure water jets to blast away any remaining residue, algae, and other contaminants from every corner and seam, leaving the interior spotless and ready for the water tank disinfection procedure.
Step 4: Safe Water Tank Disinfection & Sanitization
With the tank physically clean, we apply eco-friendly and KEBS-approved, cleaning agents, such as a precisely measured chlorine solution or hydrogen peroxide. The solution is left for a specific contact time to effectively neutralize 100% of harmful microorganisms, including the bacteria and viruses that cause waterborne illnesses, ensuring your water is hygienically safe.
Step 5: Thorough Rinsing & Final Visual Inspection
We perform multiple rinses with fresh, clean water to completely remove every trace of the disinfectant, guaranteeing no residual taste or smell. Our senior technician then conducts a final visual inspection, scrutinizing every surface to confirm the tank is spotless. We also re-verify the tank’s structural integrity, including all fittings and pipes.
Step 6: Safe Water Refilling & System Reconnection
Once your tank passes our rigorous inspection, we securely close all valves and, with your approval, turn the main water supply back on to refill the tank. Our team reconnects all pipes and meticulously checks the entire system to ensure it is functioning correctly and is completely leak-free, returning it to you in a fully operational state.
Step 7: Post-Service Briefing & Maintenance Advice
Our service concludes with a comprehensive briefing from our lead technician. We provide practical advice on how to maintain your water quality, including an optimal cleaning schedule and tips for preventing future contamination. For complete assurance, we also offer professional water quality testing as an optional service.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I clean my water tank in Kenya?
For most residential water tanks in Nairobi, a cleaning schedule of every 6 to 12 months is recommended. For commercial or industrial tanks, or in areas with higher sediment, cleaning every 3 to 6 months is advisable due to increased usage and potential for contamination. Regular cleaning helps maintain water quality and prevent health risks associated with sediment buildup and bacterial growth.
Are the chemicals used safe for drinking water?
Absolutely. We use food-grade disinfectants and non-toxic and biodegradable cleaning solutions safe for drinking water tanks. Our procedure ensures all chemicals are thoroughly rinsed out, leaving your water safe for consumption.
How long does the cleaning process take?
The water tank cleaning duration typically takes between 2 to 4 hours for most residential tanks (up to 5,000 litres), depending on the tank’s size, accessibility, and the level of sediment or contamination. Larger commercial or industrial tanks or heavily soiled tanks may take longer. We will provide a more precise time estimate during your booking.
