Why Routine Water Tank Cleaning is Important in Portsmouth
Stored water systems naturally accumulate sediment and deposits over time. Without routine cleaning, conditions may increase risk from harmful micro organisms such as Legionella.
Routine tank cleaning helps:
✅ Maintain water quality
✅ Reduce bacterial risk
✅ Protect pumps and system components
✅ Avoid compliance failures
Most tanks should be inspected annually and cleaned as required following risk assessment findings.

Recent Water Tank Cleaning Project – Hampshire.

During inspection, sediment accumulation and internal surface scale were identified within sectional tanks supplying guest accomodation and public areas. Works required full drain-down, internal mechanical cleaning and chlorination in accordance with ACOP L8 and HSG274 guidance. Access and scheduling were coordinated under site security protocols to ensure compliance with estate procedures. Upon completion, a detailed condition report, photographic evidence and digital certification were issued to support Legionella compliance records.
