Overhead Water Tank Cleaning in Khirki Village

Overhead tanks in Khirki Village

Khirki Village wraps around the medieval Khirki Masjid in a tight grid of lanes off Press Enclave Road, packed with student PGs, low-rise rental floors and old family houses between Malviya Nagar and Saket. Supply is DJB mains topped up by neighbourhood borewells, and with paying-guest occupancy the rooftop tanks are drained and refilled all day. On those small, hard-worked tanks a borewell mineral film clings to the walls while everyday sediment collects at the bottom.

KaamGenie cleans each rooftop tank in full — drain, scoop the sediment, jet the scale off, hand-scrub the corners, then a food-grade disinfectant wash with dated before/after photos and a certificate. This overhead-tank page runs alongside our wider water tank cleaning in Khirki Village, zeroing in on the rooftop tank that feeds your taps.

Why Khirki Village PG tanks foul between refills

With PGs and shared rental floors around the masjid running dozens of taps, a rooftop tank empties and refills several times a day, and every borewell top-up carries a little sediment that never gets a chance to settle out clean. The tanks squeezed onto these old roofs are small, so the mineral film coats a large share of the water each cycle. Ageing galvanised down-pipes add rust flecks to the mix too.

Nothing filters the water once it leaves the rooftop tank, so a PG kitchen and every tenant bathroom draw whatever is sitting at the bottom. In the cramped lanes off Press Enclave Road the tanks often sit under a warped lid an arm’s length from a neighbour’s wall, and dust blows straight in. A clean every three to four months keeps a hard-worked PG tank from turning the water cloudy.

How we do it — our 8-step process

• 1. Inspect & drain We check the tank, then drain it down to the sludge line, saving what clean water we can for you.
• 2. Sludge & sediment removal The settled muck at the bottom is scooped and wet-vacuumed out — not just rinsed around.
• 3. High-pressure jet wash Walls, floor and ceiling are jet-washed to break off calcium scale and biofilm.
• 4. Manual scrub Corners, joints and the inlet/outlet mouths are hand-scrubbed where the jet can’t reach.
• 5. Anti-bacterial treatment A food-grade disinfectant wash kills the remaining bacteria and algae.
• 6. Vacuum & rinse Loosened dirt is vacuumed out and the tank rinsed clean and ready to refill.
• 7. Lid & overflow check We reseat the lid and check the overflow/vent so dust, lizards and light can’t get back in.
• 8. Photos & certificate Before/after photos and a dated service record sent to you on WhatsApp.

Common questions from Khirki Village customers

“Do you clean PG tanks in the lanes around Khirki Masjid?” Yes. The PG-heavy lanes ringing the masjid are part of our regular Malviya Nagar round, and our crews are used to reaching tanks on cramped old roofs. We clean a single rooftop tank or the whole terrace of a PG. Just tell us the lane and which floor the tank is on and we will come prepared.

“I run a PG with a tank on each floor — can you do them together?” Yes, and it is the most efficient way in Khirki Village. We clean the whole terrace of tanks in one visit and give you a single dated certificate for the building. Doing several together also brings a lower per-tank rate than booking each on its own. Tell us how many tanks and their sizes when you call.

“What does a small rooftop tank cost in an old building here?” A standard 1000L Sintex or plastic tank starts from ₹699, and smaller tanks are still done at that base rate. If several tanks feed different tenants on one terrace, we quote them together at a lower per-tank rate. We confirm the figure on the call once you tell us the size.

“There are rust flecks in my water — is that the tank?” Often it is the old galvanised pipe feeding or leaving the tank rather than the tank itself, but the rust settles inside the tank as a reddish sediment. We drain and scrub that out, and if the flecks are coming off a corroded down-pipe we will point it out so you can get it replaced. Cleaning the tank clears the settled rust straight away.

“Is the disinfectant safe for the tenants drinking the water?” Yes. We use a food-grade disinfectant at the correct dose and rinse it out, so the water is safe as soon as the tank refills, with no smell or aftertaste. It is the standard used for drinking-water tanks, safe for everyone in the building. On a busy PG floor this step matters most.
