When to Consider Tank Cleaning
Tank cleaning may be worth considering if:
- Your tank has not been cleaned for an extended period
- Sediment is visible inside the tank
- Your property relies heavily on collected rainwater
- Your gutters regularly collect leaves and organic debris
- You are completing general rainwater system maintenance
Unsure whether your tank needs attention? Drain Vac can help you assess it.
Why Does Sediment Build Up in Rainwater Tanks?
Small amounts of fine material enter a rainwater collection system whenever water runs from the roof.
Gutters may capture larger debris, but finer particles continue through the downpipes and into the tank. Over time, some of this material settles at the bottom.
That is why tank sediment keeps accumulating even when the water above it looks relatively clear. Periodic tank cleaning removes this settled material.
