You might be surprised by some of the foreign objects and debris we find inside fire tanks during inspections.

Debris poses a high risk of fouling pumps or blocking hydrants or sprinkler heads further up the line.

Here’s the pile of debris we collected during a recent 10-yearly clean of a shopping centre fire tank…Debris collected during 10-yearly fire tank clean

We found timber, plastic, steel, concrete, rocks, aluminium and sediment that had been overlooked during previous inspections and cleans, most of which had been inside the tank since it’s construction!

FTA cleaning is done by our commercial dive team who use state of the art equipment which allows us to thoroughly inspect and clean your tank with minimal water loss.

One of the many advantages of using divers as opposed to ROV’s when we clean your tank is the ability to remove objects and debris.

This is just another reason why it’s so important to have fully qualified and licensed contractors working on your fire tanks.

When it comes time for your tanks to be cleaned and inspected, the question you need to be asking is “Are your tanks FTA approved?”
