Water Tank Cleaning Services in Dubai
Every drop of water in your home has been sitting in a tank you have never seen.
DM compliant tank cleaning, sanitising and water testing.
The tank feeds every tap in the building
Drained, scrubbed by hand, sludge removed, sanitised and refilled. A tank that is only flushed leaves the sediment layer exactly where it was.
- Fully drained and hand scrubbed, not flushed
- Sludge removed and disposed of properly
- Sanitised, refilled and left ready to use
Tested, not just cleaned
You should not have to take our word for it. Water is sampled before and after so the difference is on paper.
- Samples taken before and after works
- Laboratory report issued to you
- Findings explained in plain language
The lid and the overflow matter too
Most contamination comes in through a poorly sealed lid, an unscreened overflow or a cracked inlet, not through the water supply.
- Lid seals, vents and screens checked
- Cracks and inlet condition reported
- Recommendations given in writing
Before anything is quoted
We look at the property before we put a number on it
A price list cannot see your marble, your ducts, or the wall the afternoon sun hits. So we come and look. A senior member of the team surveys the property, and you receive a written quotation the same day, itemised, with what is included and what is not.
No obligation. If we are not the right company for the job we will say so, and tell you who is.
- 01The survey
We look at the property, not a price list. Usually the same day you ask.
- 02The written quote
Fixed, itemised, and sent the same day. What is included, and what is not.
- 03The work
A named supervisor and a crew you will see again. Our own equipment and materials.
- 04The walkthrough
We walk the property with you before the team leaves. Anything not right is dealt with then.
About this service
What is water tank cleaning and what does it include?
It is above your ceiling or beside your villa, and unless someone specifically cleaned it, nothing ever has.
Water arrives in Dubai treated and clean. What happens between the mains and your tap is entirely down to the storage tank on your property, and that tank sits in ambient heat, often for days, with sediment settling to the bottom and biofilm developing on the walls. In summer, water in a poorly insulated tank reaches temperatures that suit bacterial growth. This is water your family drinks, cooks with, bathes in, and brushes teeth with. Dubai Municipality requires periodic cleaning of storage tanks for exactly this reason, and it is one of the most consistently ignored requirements in residential property.
We drain, clean and sanitise tanks to DM standard, with trained technicians using approved chemicals and correct confined space procedure. Sediment and biofilm are removed mechanically, walls, base and lid are scrubbed and disinfected, and the tank is flushed and refilled. Inlet, outlet, float valve and lid seal are inspected, because a poorly sealing lid is the single most common route for contamination. You receive a cleaning certificate and, on request, a water quality test.

View serviceFrequently asked questions
How much does water tank cleaning cost in Dubai?
There is no fixed rate card. Price follows the size and condition of the property, so a senior member of the team surveys it first and you get a written, itemised quotation the same day. The figure on that quotation is the figure you pay.
Who does water tank cleaning near me in Dubai?
MELLS covers ninety communities across Dubai and works in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises. Message +971 58 656 3001 on WhatsApp with your community and we will confirm availability.
What is the best water tank cleaning company in Dubai?
Judge any company on three things: whether the team is directly employed or subcontracted, whether the quote is fixed in writing before work starts, and whether a supervisor walks the property with you at the end. MELLS does all three as standard.
How quickly can you start water tank cleaning?
Survey usually the same day you ask, quotation the same day, and work scheduled within forty eight hours in most cases. Urgent call outs are handled the same day where the team is free.
Is water tank cleaning safe for children and pets?
Yes. Products are selected for occupied family homes as the default, re entry times are told to you before we leave, and anything stronger is only ever used with your agreement.
How do I get a quote from MELLS?
Message us on WhatsApp on +971 58 656 3001 or call the same number. A senior member of the team surveys the property and you receive a written itemised quotation the same day.
Which areas of the UAE does MELLS cover?
Ninety communities across Dubai for residential work, and Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises.
How is a deep clean different from a regular cleaning visit?
A regular visit maintains what is already clean. A deep clean resets the property, including the areas a routine service is not expected to reach: behind and under appliances, inside cabinets, along tracks and skirting, into upholstery and grout. Different equipment, different products, considerably more time.
How often should a Dubai home be deep cleaned?
Twice a year for most homes, typically before and after summer. Households with children, pets, or anyone with allergies usually benefit from quarterly. Move in, move out and post renovation cleans sit outside that cycle.
How often do AC ducts actually need cleaning?
Every eighteen to twenty four months for a typical Dubai property, and sooner after any renovation or if anyone in the home has asthma or allergies. Filters and vents need attention far more often, roughly quarterly.
Are your products safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use products selected for occupied family homes as the default, and full chemical free steam cleaning is available for households that prefer it. Pest control products are DM approved and applied by licensed technicians, and we always tell you when an area is safe to reoccupy.
Do you bring your own equipment and materials?
Yes. Our teams arrive fully equipped with professional grade machinery, products and materials. Nothing of yours is used.
Ready to book water tank cleaning?
Quick response, trained technicians, and a price agreed before we start.

- No sanitising stage after cleaning
