About Us
Cleaning the black holding tank
RV Tank Specialist is all too familiar with the contents of an RV's black holding tank. And we know you try your hardest to keep the place tidy. However, most black tanks have large waste and debris build-ups. Why? Your black tank sprayers do a wonderful job of keeping everything rinsed out, but they can't clean the tank fully.
Our 1800 PSI hydrojetting method will blast every surface in your black holding tank clean, removing months — if not years — of grime, cleaning hard-to-reach spots like corners and the front bulkhead, and flushing everything out until the tanks are "factory clean." After that, we run a rinsing cycle to remove anything that the hydrojet didn't remove. On very troublesome black tanks, we can even do a detergent deep cleaning.
Cleaning of the gray holding tank
While we think of black tanks as the filthiest, gray tanks in RVs can be just as awful – if not worse! Molds and mildews thrive in the dark, wet, and warm atmosphere of a gray holding tank, so they tend to build. Our 1800 PSI hydrojetting procedure cleans your gray tank as thoroughly as it cleans your black tank, removing mold, mildew, food and human waste, as well as any other debris or build-up.
What methods do we use to clean your tanks?
It's one of the most commonly requested questions we receive! It appears almost...simple once you see how we do it. We connect your RV's waste pipe to the flexible sewer hose with a specific pipe connection, then guide a specially-designed cleaning head at the end of a flexible wand into your tanks. Our professional-grade water pump's 1800 PSI water pressure washes and cleans your tanks aggressively, forcing waste and debris back down via the flexible sewage hose and into the RV park's waste collection and processing system.
What do we need to clean the tanks in your RV?
We clean your RV's holding tanks with between 100 and 200 gallons of water. As a result, you'll need to park your RV somewhere with complete hook-ups, including city-pressure water, 110 volt 15 amp power, and, most crucially, a waste collection and processing system. Unless you have a 300+ gallon collecting tank on-site, we CANNOT service your RV if you regularly utilize a waste pump-out service (it can damage our equipment) (some RV parks have these in the ground or next to the RV at ground level).
Where do the sensors fit in?
We can generally get your RV's tank sensors reading correctly again in nine out of ten occasions. The tank additive you use is to blame for the majority of tank sensor failures. An additive that dissolves, breaks down, or otherwise digests waste merely creates a sticky, thick, and nearly impossible to remove pancake batter-like waste (particularly in the black tank).
However, in that one-in-ten chance, we won't be able to get your tank sensors to work properly again. It could be a sensor's electronics failing, rusted sensor probes, corroded or disconnected sensor wires, or just a probe or mechanical failure. Despite our best efforts, some circumstances necessitate the replacement of your sensors.
