RV Holding Tank Issues?

If you answer “yes” to any of these, your RV tanks need professionally cleaned!

• Tank sensors not accurate?
• Tank odors inside your RV?
• Tanks drain slow or not at all?
• Tanks sag or your RV seems heavy?
• Is your RV over 3 years old?

Your RV holding tanks can hide some “substances” we would rather ignore. But ignoring can “catch up to you” and cause frustrating or costly problems. Most RV holding tanks accumulate one or more of 5 different “substances”:

• STRUVITE is yellowish or brownish-tan crystals, or even a platy mica-like solid that forms from magnesium, ammonia, and phosphate and sticks to the walls and floor of your holding tanks. If left untreated, these rock-like formations heavily restrict flow through pipes, clog valves, and coat sensors causing misreadings. It makes your tank heavy. Tank flush systems do not remove struvite.
• MOLD is black and flaky or chunky and is very stinky. It forms on all tank interior surfaces, but mostly in the gray tank for the kitchen sink, mostly from food particles. It can harden in the tank corners (especially when your RV is in storage) and continue to build up over time. Most gray tanks do not have a flush system to remove this.
• CREEPY CRITTERS are insect larvae (or even larger…I’ve heard horror stories) that take up residence in your RV storage tanks. They mysteriously find their way into your tank, including up from the campground waste drain.
• SLUDGE is a term for a sticky tan substance similar to pancake batter that does not flush out of your RV holding tank. It is thick and sticky and comes from undissolved toilet paper, undissolved tank treatments, or the effects of tank treatment chemicals. It accumulates in the bottom and reduces your tank capacity, and like struvite, is not removed by most tank flush systems.
• SOAP SCUM can build up in the shower or sink gray tank over time. It causes slow draining, reduces your tank capacity, and causes your tank to get very heavy.

I have pictures of each of the above, but you’ll probably thank me for not posting them. However, I do show them in my “RV Tips From A Tech” seminar.

There is a solution! Pressure washing the inside of your tanks and piping with between 2,000 psi and 3,000 psi. It’s safe and effective to remove all of the above and clean them to near factory fresh. 90% of the time, your tank level sensors begin working correctly again too!

I am now offering this high-pressure tank cleaning service using a special professional-grade “jetter” and unique nozzles to give your RV tanks and piping an “enema”!

• Chemical-free hydro jet wash inside your tanks & pipes with over 2,050 psi
• Gets most sensors working properly again.
• Removes struvite crystals and plating.
• Removes clogs, waste build-up, and debris.
• Removes unwanted “creepy critters”. 
• It’s safe for your RV.
• I then lubricate your waste-gate valve seals.
• This is a mobile service – I come to your RV.

Your RV must be connected to water and sewer, and have at least 15 amp AC electrical service. It takes over an hour and usually I don’t need to go in your RV, but you’ll want to be there, I’ll give you advice for good tank maintenance.
