Walk any Kamla Nagar lane behind the market and you are under a stack of PG rooms, and every one of them is fed by a rooftop tank that fills and empties many times a day. KaamGenie cleans those hard-worked overhead tanks on the student blocks and builder floors around North Campus. From ₹699.
Kamla Nagar sits shoulder to shoulder with Delhi University's North Campus, and its lanes have filled with converted PGs, small hostels and student-rented builder floors stacked above a constantly busy shopping market. A rooftop tank in one of these blocks does not serve a quiet family; it serves a dozen or more tenants who draw water all day, so it drains and refills over and over. Every refill stirs up whatever sediment had begun to settle, keeping the water perpetually slightly cloudy. Because the tenants are transient and nobody owns the tank, the lids are often left loose or missing entirely. Open covers over a dusty market let in grime, algae spores and the odd insect. Between the churn and the neglect, these tanks foul far faster than any household would guess.
We clean these high-turnover rooftop tanks properly rather than just rinsing them. The crew drains the tank, clears the sludge from the floor, jet-washes the scale and film off the walls, scrubs the corners and the inlet by hand, then finishes with an anti-bacterial disinfectant wash before refilling. Landlords and PG owners get dated before-and-after photos on WhatsApp for their own records. This page belongs to our wider water tank cleaning in Kamla Nagar service and is specifically about the overhead (rooftop) tanks feeding the taps.
High occupancy is a double edge. On one hand the tank turns over so fast that water rarely goes stale from sitting; on the other, that same churn keeps settled silt suspended and in the supply instead of letting it lie quietly on the floor. Residents are effectively drinking the stirred-up sediment. In a family home that grit would settle and stay put between draws, but a PG tank never gets the chance to rest.
The loose and missing lids make the problem worse than the usage alone would. Over an open market lane, a rooftop tank collects dust, soot and airborne spores that a sealed tank never sees, and warm water plus daylight through a translucent tank feeds algae quickly. For a block housing this many students, a tank cleaned only once in a blue moon becomes a genuine health risk, which is why we suggest a tighter schedule here than for an ordinary home.
No travel charge anywhere in Kamla Nagar. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“I run a PG here. How often should the rooftop tank be cleaned?” For a full PG or hostel block we suggest every four to six months rather than once a year. The heavy daily turnover and the open lids mean sediment and film come back faster than in a family home. Many Kamla Nagar landlords put us on a standing schedule so the tank is done before the water ever gets a chance to smell.
“Can the tenants keep using water while you clean?” The supply is off only while we drain and refill, which is roughly ninety minutes to two hours for a standard block tank. We usually schedule the clean for late morning when most students are out, so the interruption lands at the quietest part of the PG's day and water is back before the evening rush.
“Who should pay, the landlord or the tenants?” That is between you and your tenants, but most Kamla Nagar landlords treat the tank clean as a building expense and fold it into maintenance. We can raise the invoice in the owner's name or the PG's name, and for blocks with several tanks we give a bulk price so it is easy to split across floors.
“The lid on my tank is broken. Can you sort that too?” We will flag it and reseat or replace a basic lid where we can, because a clean is wasted if the tank is left open to the market dust again. If the tank needs a proper new cover we will tell you the size to buy and fit it on the next visit. Keeping the lid sealed is half the battle here.
“What does it cost for a shared student-block tank?” A single 500-litre tank starts at ₹699 and a 1,000-litre one is ₹899. The larger shared rooftop tanks on PG blocks, typically 1,001 to 2,000 litres, run ₹1,299 to ₹1,499 each. If you want every tank on the building done together we quote ₹2,400 to ₹3,000 for the lot with a bulk discount.
