Cistern Pumping & Cleaning Services

Safe, Reliable Service for Your Home’s Water Storage System

Cisterns are a vital part of many rural homes in Ohio and Indiana, especially where access to municipal water is limited. These concrete tanks are designed to store non-potable water for household uses such as bathing, laundry, toilet flushing, and cleaning. To keep your cistern functioning properly and your water clean, regular pumping and cleaning is essential.

At Mike’s Sanitation, we have the equipment and expertise to perform cistern pumping and cleaning services, helping homeowners maintain safe, sanitary water storage systems with minimal hassle.

Why Cistern Maintenance Matters

Over time, cisterns can accumulate:

  • Sediment and silt

  • Organic matter and debris

  • Bacteria, algae, and odors

Without proper cleaning, this buildup can lead to foul-smelling water, clogged plumbing, and even health concerns. Routine maintenance keeps your cistern clean, functional, and safe for everyday household use.

 

Our Cistern Pumping & Cleaning Process

  1. Thorough Pump-Out: We completely remove all standing water and sludge from the tank.

  2. Scrub & Rinse: Interior walls are cleaned to remove buildup, slime, and contaminants.

  3. Safe Disposal: Wastewater is disposed of at our EPA-licensed treatment facility, keeping your system and the environment safe.

  4. Inspection: We check for cracks, structural issues, or signs of contamination and notify you of any concerns.

 

Who Needs Cistern Pumping?

Cistern pumping is recommended every 1 to 3 years, depending on:

  • Water usage

  • Tank size

  • Surrounding environment (debris, runoff, etc.)

You may need pumping sooner if you notice:

  • Unpleasant odors from the tank

  • Cloudy or discolored water

  • Decreased water pressure or clogged plumbing

  • Visible debris in the water
