Overhead Water Tank Cleaning in Kondli

Overhead tanks in Kondli

Kondli is a dense DDA resettlement colony of tightly packed LIG flats and self-built floors at the far edge of Mayur Vihar Phase 3. DJB is limited here, so households lean on borewell and the tanker that comes round, both harder and siltier than pipeline supply. That water fills small rooftop plastic tanks that scale and settle fast. With shared tanks feeding several families and cleaning rarely scheduled, sediment and biofilm are a standing problem.

We empty each tank, scoop the settled silt, jet-wash the scaled walls, hand-scrub the corners and disinfect with a hygienic rinse, leaving photos and a quality report. This page is for rooftop tanks; the wider service is at water tank cleaning in Kondli.

Why Kondli's tanker-fed tanks silt up so fast

Tanker water is the tell-tale factor in Kondli: each load carries fine suspended silt that drops to the tank floor within days, layer on layer through the season. The borewell share adds mineral hardness that crusts the walls. In small resettlement tanks that hold only a few hundred litres for several families, that combined load builds quickly, faster than a DJB-fed tank of the same size.

Down at the base the silt forms a soft sludge that clouds every refill, while a biofilm grows in the still corners, dulling the taste and clogging aerators and geysers. Shared tanks with low turnover let it all sit undisturbed for months. A drain-and-scrub at the end of the tanker-heavy summer clears the accumulated silt before it hardens, and a repeat mid-year keeps it down.

How we do it — our 6-step process

• 1. Drainage We drain the overhead tank down to the sludge line, saving the clean water where we can.
• 2. Sludge Removal The heavy sediment, mud and settled muck at the bottom is scooped out manually.
• 3. Vacuum Cleaning Industrial wet-vacuums lift the loosened dirt from every corner of the tank.
• 4. High-Pressure Jet A high-pressure jet wash on the walls, floor and ceiling breaks off calcium scale and algae.
• 5. Anti-Bacterial Wash A disinfectant wash kills the remaining bacteria and algae before the tank refills.
• 6. Quality Report Before and after photos are sent to you on WhatsApp.

The water in Kondli: what our crews see

Every locality in Delhi stores different water, and that decides how fast a tank fouls. This is Kondli’s profile from The Delhi Water Index, built from our field observations across 250+ localities.

Common questions from Kondli customers

“We get tanker water most of the year. Does that make cleaning more urgent?” It does. Tanker loads carry fine silt that settles into the tank base within days, so tanker-fed buildings in Kondli silt up faster than pipeline ones. A clean after the peak tanker months clears it before it compacts, and a mid-year repeat keeps it manageable.

“Several families share our tank. How do we arrange it?” One resident can book for the building; we need roof access and a short window agreed with the sharing families. Since the tank is small and shared, doing it in one visit for everyone is simplest, and the cost splits easily across the floors.

“The walls have a white crust. What is that?” That is mineral scale from the hard borewell, which builds along the waterline with every fill. We jet and scrub it back to a clean surface; because the borewell keeps depositing, a clean every four to six months stops it thickening again.

“How much for a small rooftop tank?” ₹699 covers a tank up to 500L, which is the common size in Kondli, and ₹899 up to 1,000L. The rate includes drain, de-sludge, jet-wash, scrub and disinfection, with photos of the inside before and after.

“The stored water smells earthy. Why?” An earthy or musty smell usually means a sludge bed and biofilm from long-standing silt, common where tanker water sits in a low-turnover tank. A full clean and disinfection clears the smell; if it returns quickly, the tank is due more often than yearly.
