When was the last time your water tank was cleaned? Sediment, algae, and bacteria build up inside over time, contaminating the water your family drinks and bathes in. Ace Plumber Johor Bahru provides thorough tank cleaning and disinfection for homes and businesses across Johor Bahru.
Malaysia's tropical heat accelerates bacterial growth and sediment buildup inside water tanks. Here's what we find and fix.
Layers of mud, sand, and rust particles settle at the bottom of the tank over months. This sediment contaminates your water supply and clogs pipes and fixtures.
Sunlight entering through cracks or a poorly sealed lid promotes algae growth. Green slime coats the tank walls and turns the water murky. We scrub it clean and seal the lid.
Warm, stagnant water inside neglected tanks breeds bacteria including E. coli and Legionella. We disinfect the tank with food-safe chlorine solution after scrubbing.
Iron and mineral deposits stain the tank walls and discolour your water. Particularly common in older polyethylene and concrete tanks. We descale and scrub all surfaces clean.
Broken or missing tank lids allow insects, leaves, and small animals to enter. We remove all debris, repair or replace the lid, and ensure the tank is properly sealed.
Water from your taps smells or tastes off. This is usually caused by organic matter decomposing in the tank. A thorough clean and disinfection restores fresh, clean water.
Professional tank cleaning, done properly and safely.
Tell us your tank type and size. We'll schedule a convenient time and let you know how long to expect water downtime.
We drain the tank, scrub all interior surfaces, remove sediment and slime, then flush everything out completely.
We disinfect with food-safe chlorine, rinse thoroughly, check the float valve and lid seal, then refill. Clean water restored.
Many tank cleaning services just drain and rinse. That doesn't remove the biofilm — the slimy bacterial layer coating the tank walls. We physically scrub every surface, flush the sediment out through the drain valve, disinfect with measured chlorine solution, and rinse until the water runs clear. We also inspect the float valve, overflow pipe, and tank lid condition while we're there.
We clean polyethylene (poly), stainless steel, fibreglass, and concrete water tanks — from small 500L household tanks to large commercial storage tanks.
Whether your tank is on the roof, in the attic, or on the ground level — we have the equipment and access methods to reach and clean it safely.
During cleaning, we inspect your float valve, inlet pipe, overflow pipe, and tank lid. If anything needs repair or replacement, we'll let you know and can fix it on the spot.
We clean and service all major water tank brands used in Malaysian homes and commercial properties.

"We manage a small apartment block and needed all four tanks cleaned. The team was efficient — completed everything in one day with proper disinfection. Tenants noticed the improvement in water quality."

Report Your IssueDiscoloured water is a clear sign that sediment and rust have built up inside the tank. Your family is consuming contaminated water every time they use the tap.
Fix urgently — health riskA metallic, earthy, or chlorine-like taste means organic matter or bacteria are present in the tank. The water needs to be tested and the tank cleaned immediately.
Fix urgently — contaminationTiny particles visible in a glass of water or caught in tap filters. This is sediment from the tank bottom being disturbed and entering your pipes.
Fix soon — sediment buildupAn open or broken lid allows insects, leaves, bird droppings, and sunlight into the tank — all of which contaminate the water and promote algae growth.
Fix soon — contamination riskEven if the water looks clear, biofilm and sediment accumulate over time. Health authorities recommend cleaning your water tank at least once every 6-12 months.
