Why Locals Use Us in Russell & Paihia

Living and working in the Bay of Islands means dealing with unique challenges - steep bush sections, off-grid setups, long driveways, and high summer demand from guests and holiday homes. That’s where we come in.


We specialise in cleaning rainwater tanks across Russell, Paihia, and surrounding areas with gear and experience tailored for coastal, rural, and hard-to-reach properties.


We all know how important water is here in Northland, especially since so many of us rely on tank water! That’s what sets our process apart. We clean and sanitise the inside of your tank without draining it, which means you keep the rainwater you’ve already collected. It’s a smarter, more sustainable way to keep your water safe.


At the end of the job, your tank is clean, your water is safe to use, and there’s no need to order costly replacement water.


This low-water-loss approach is perfect for:

  • Off-grid properties

  • Rainwater-only homes

  • Holiday baches with limited supply

No waste. No hassle. Just clean water, ready to use.


Whether you’re tucked away in the bush along one of our beautiful bays or managing a busy Airbnb in Te Haumi, we’ll clean your tank quickly, safely, and without wasting your precious water.


We Work With

  • Private homes (permanent and part-time residents)

  • Holiday baches and off-grid properties

  • Airbnb, Bookabach, and other short-term rentals

  • Long-term rental properties

  • Schools and early childhood centres

  • Holiday camps and seasonal accommodation

  • Lifestyle blocks and farms

  • Local businesses, trades, and service sites

  • Properties managed by caretakers or property managers

No need to be on-site, we’re used to working with absentee owners and can coordinate via phone or email with photos if needed.
