How much does it cost to clean my water tank?
The cost of cleaning a typical New Zealand water tank depends on a number of factors.
The key factors to determine the cost of water tank cleaning are:
- The number of tanks (and if they are next to each other)
- The size of tanks
- Your location (address)
If you are unsure of your tank size, providing the height and diameter for a cylinder tank, or length, width and depth for a rectangular tank, will allow us to work that out for you.
Other factors that we need to know for cleaning a tank.
- What the tank or tanks are made of?
- Can we get a light truck within 50 metres (think half a rugby field) of the tank(s)?
- Are there any hazards, such as low hanging power lines, that may be immediately above the hatch for the tank(s)?
- What is your water source?
- How long since the tank(s) were cleaned (if you know)?
- Do you have filters going into the house?
Tank Access is a key factor
If the tank is under a deck, house or part of a patio then again, we need to have a chat to establish if/how we can access it.
Overall, there’s quite a few factors involved, and it is impossible to know the cost, until we have all the details. It saves time and money if you provide more details about your tank set up, when getting an estimate.
