Frequently Asked Questions
Water tanks should be inspected at least annually, with cleaning recommended every 12 months for most commercial properties. However, the frequency may increase based on your specific risk assessment, system usage, and environmental factors. Regular inspections may indicate the need for more frequent cleaning, especially in high-risk environments like healthcare facilities or older buildings.
The duration depends on the size and condition of your water tank. A standard domestic or small commercial tank typically takes 3-5 hours to clean thoroughly. Larger systems or those with significant contamination may require a full day. We work efficiently to minimise disruption to your operations while ensuring comprehensive cleaning and disinfection.
