Cistern cleaning process - how it works

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A full cistern cleaning covers six steps from start to finish: pump, inspect, scrub, sanitize, flush, and refill. Each one matters. Skip a step and you leave behind whatever the previous step was supposed to remove. Here is exactly what we do and why each part of the process is necessary.

The full cleaning process

Step 1 - Pump down

We pump the cistern completely empty before we do anything else. Partial pump-downs leave standing water and sediment that gets mixed back in during scrubbing. A full drain takes longer but gives us a clean surface to work from. We haul off the pumped water - never discharged onto your property or into a storm drain.

Flooded Cistern Cleaning in Parkersburg, WV

If your property flooded and your cistern went under, do not use the water. A flooded cistern is contaminated. It needs a full pump-out and sanitization before it is safe again.

What gets into a flooded cistern

When floodwater enters a cistern, it brings everything the water picked up on the way there.

Surface runoff carries bacteria, animal waste, motor oil, fertilizer, and whatever else was sitting on the ground before the water rose. In the Ohio River floodplain, that runoff travels across a lot of ground before it reaches you.
