Expert Tank Cleaning Services to Keep Your System Running Efficiently

Detention and retention tanks play a crucial role in stormwater management, preventing flooding and protecting waterways. Over time, these tanks collect sediment, debris, and pollutants, reducing their efficiency. Our professional tank cleaning services ensure your system remains clear, compliant, and fully operational.

What Are Detention and Retention Tanks?

  • Detention tanks temporarily hold stormwater runoff, gradually releasing it to prevent flooding.
  • Retention tanks store water permanently, allowing it to be reused for irrigation, toilet flushing, and other non-potable purposes.

Both systems require regular maintenance and cleaning to function properly and comply with local regulations.

Detention and Retention Tanks

Why Regular Tank Cleaning is Essential

Without routine servicing, detention and retention tanks can become clogged, leading to:

  • Blockages and overflows, increasing the risk of flooding.
  • Unpleasant odours and stagnant water buildup.
  • System inefficiencies, resulting in costly repairs.
  • Environmental damage, as contaminated water can enter natural. waterways.

Our expert detention tank cleaning and retention tank servicing help prevent these issues, ensuring your tank remains in peak condition. Get in touch with us today!

Detention and Retention Tanks

Above-Ground vs. Underground Tank Cleaning

At The Drain Company, we service both above-ground and underground detention and retention tanks:

  • Above-ground tanks are accessible and easy to maintain but require regular debris removal.
  • Underground tanks are space-saving but need professional cleaning to remove sediment buildup and blockages.

Our team is equipped to handle all water tank cleaning services, no matter the system type.

Stormwater System Installation

The Drain Company can install either above-ground or below-ground systems, depending on project requirements.

  • Above-ground systems are typically excavated pits resembling ponds that collect stormwater.
  • Underground detention systems maximise usable land for construction and are ideal for space-restricted areas.
    Most underground systems are installed beneath hardscape surfaces like parking lots, athletic fields, and lawns.
