Signs That Your Sump Needs Immediate Cleaning
Many people don’t realize that their sump needs cleaning until it’s too late. But there are clear warning signs you...
Most people don’t realize when their water tank needs attention. But there are some simple signs you should never ignore:
Bad smell coming from tap water
Muddy or colored water when filling bottles
Slime or scaling inside the tank walls
Insects or dirt floating in the water
If you see any of these, it’s time to call for a professional tank cleaning service. Waiting too long can cause serious health problems and damage your tank.

1. Discolored Water
If water from your taps looks brown, yellow, or cloudy, it usually means rust or sediment has built up inside the tank. This is a clear warning that your tank needs cleaning.
2. Bad Taste or Smell
Water should always be clean and fresh. If it tastes metallic or has a musty or rotten odor, bacteria or rust could be contaminating the tank.
3. Low Water Pressure
Sediment buildup reduces the capacity of your tank and blocks smooth water flow. Over time, this causes noticeably low pressure in your taps and showers.
4. Sediment in Fixtures
Rust flakes, grit, or tiny particles coming from faucets or showerheads often come from an unclean tank pushing dirt into your pipes.
5. Strange Noises
If you hear knocking or rumbling from your water heater, it could be hardened sediment at the bottom of the tank expanding and contracting with heat.
6. Hot Water Runs Out Quickly
A dirty water heater works less efficiently because sediment acts like insulation, making it harder to heat fresh water. That’s why your hot water finishes faster than usual.
7. Tank Age
Even if you don’t notice any problems, tanks older than 3–5 years should be cleaned regularly. Mineral buildup is unavoidable over time.
8. Visible Corrosion
If you see rust or corrosion on the outside of your tank, the inside is usually worse. That’s a strong sign you need professional help.
9. Small Leaks
Tiny leaks around joints or fittings are signs of sediment damage and corrosion. Ignoring them can lead to major tank failures.
10. Buying a New Home
If you’ve recently moved into a new home, always get the water tank inspected and cleaned. You don’t want to risk using a dirty or neglected tank.
Don’t wait for a health issue to remind you—act now and keep your tank clean with SPB’s expert team.
