Professional Water Tank Cleaning Services in Kenya
Maji Hill provides professional water tank cleaning services in Kenya, serving residential, commercial, and industrial clients. In Kenya, untreated tanks can harbor sediment, algae, rust and harmful bacteria – leading to diseases like cholera or typhoid. Our certified team uses both manual scrubbing and high-pressure jetting with food-grade disinfectants to scrub, sanitize, and flush every tank. We follow Ministry of Health and NEMA/NEMA regulations to protect your water quality. Whether it’s routine maintenance or an urgent cleanup, we ensure your water tank is hygienic, compliant, and delivering safe drinking water.
Comprehensive Tank Cleaning Process
Inspection & Draining: Technicians inspect the tank (interior walls, fittings, valves) and then completely drain it to start with a clean slate.
Sludge & Debris Removal: We vacuum or pump out mud, sludge, biofilm and debris settled at the bottom of the tank.
Manual Scrubbing or Pressure Wash: Tank walls and corners are scrubbed by hand; for tough buildup we use high-pressure water jets to wash away dirt and residues.
Disinfection: We apply food-grade, non-toxic chemicals (often chlorine) to kill bacteria and algae. (WHO notes “the most common way of disinfecting a water tank is by chlorination”.) We use eco-friendly, food-grade disinfectants that leave no harmful residue.
Rinsing & Drying: The tank is thoroughly flushed with clean water until no contaminants remain, then allowed to dry or refill.
Maintenance Scheduling: We provide reminders or packages to schedule your next cleaning. This ensures ongoing residential and commercial water tank maintenance so your system stays safe over time.
Throughout this process, all tools and hoses are sanitized. Wastewater and removed debris are handled according to NEMA guidelines to avoid recontamination.
Hygiene, Safety & Compliance
We hold hygiene and safety as top priorities. Our methods meet Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) and National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) requirements for water quality. Technicians wear full PPE and follow Ministry of Health protocols. We use only certified, food-grade disinfectants and EPA-registered cleaners, as recommended in WHO guidance. All waste (wash water, removed sludge) is disposed of responsibly under NEMA regulations. These strict standards minimize contamination risk and keep your water supply safe and legal.
Recommended Cleaning Frequency
Homes & Apartments: Every 6–12 months (usually once per year) to keep family water safe.
Commercial Buildings (offices, shops, schools, hotels): Every 3–6 months, depending on occupancy. Busy hotels or clinics often need quarterly cleanings.
Industrial & Institutional: Factories, hospitals or food facilities may require quarterly to monthly cleaning for maximum hygiene.
On-Demand Emergencies: Tanks used during construction or after contamination should be cleaned immediately.
Maji Hill can set up a maintenance plan for your site. Regular cleanings prevent buildup and reduce costly repairs. In fact, studies show routine tank cleaning avoids clogs and extends equipment life.

Benefits of Regular Tank Cleaning
Safe Drinking Water: Removes sediment, algae and pathogens so water stays pure.
Health Protection: Minimizes risk of waterborne illness by eliminating bacteria and biofilm.
Extended Tank Life: Prevents corrosion and structural damage; regular cleaning actually prolongs tank lifespan.
Regulatory Compliance: Keeps your installation meeting NEMA and health standards.
