Underground Sump Cleaning: Cost & Safety

Navjeevan Vihar homes run proper water systems — underground sump, booster pump, twin rooftop tanks — yet the tanks themselves often go years without a professional clean. KaamGenie services this quiet colony between Malviya Nagar and Geetanjali Enclave. From ₹699.
Navjeevan Vihar is a small, upscale colony of large independent homes, many belonging to doctors, professors and senior professionals, tucked between Malviya Nagar and Geetanjali Enclave off Aurobindo Marg. The typical house was built with a full water chain: an underground sump receiving DJB supply, a booster pump, and a pair of rooftop tanks feeding separate floors. Owners maintain their RO units on schedule, but the storage tanks upstream of the RO rarely get the same attention.
A KaamGenie visit takes the whole rooftop stage seriously — both tanks emptied in turn, silt lifted out, interiors pressure-washed and hand-wiped, float valves checked, and a potable-grade disinfection to finish, with photographic proof and a dated certificate. For the colony’s full range of tank work see water tank cleaning in Navjeevan Vihar; this page covers the overhead pair on your roof.
A good sump-and-booster chain actually hides the problem. Because pressure at the tap stays strong and the RO polishes the drinking water, nothing tastes or flows wrong even as silt quietly deepens in the rooftop tanks. What owners eventually notice is the RO filter clogging early, or a musty edge to bathroom water — both signs the storage upstream is overdue.
Twin-tank setups add a quirk: households often draw mainly from one tank while the second sits as standby, and standing water in a warm, sunlit tank grows biofilm along the walls. We clean both tanks and, where the plumbing allows, suggest a simple alternation so neither stagnates. For homes here, a thorough annual service — ideally before summer — is usually sufficient.
No travel charge anywhere in Navjeevan Vihar. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

We reach every pocket of Navjeevan Vihar — and there’s no travel charge to any of them:
“Can you clean both rooftop tanks and check the sump in one visit?” Yes, and for Navjeevan Vihar homes we recommend it — the sump feeds the rooftop pair, so cleaning only the top half leaves the source untouched. We sequence the work so your house keeps running water through most of the visit, and quote the combined job before starting.
“What do you charge for the overhead tanks?” ₹699 per tank up to 500L and ₹899 for 501–1,000L, including emptying, silt removal, pressure washing, hand wiping, float-valve check and potable-grade disinfection with photos and a dated certificate. Twin-tank homes get both done in a single appointment.
“We have an RO system — does the tank really need cleaning?” Yes. The RO protects only the kitchen tap; bathing, brushing and utensil-washing water comes straight from the rooftop tank. A silted tank also clogs RO membranes faster, so a clean tank actually extends your filter life. Annual servicing keeps both sides of the house healthy.
“Will the crew be respectful of the house and garden?” Our uniformed team uses drop cloths on the stair route, drains tank water to the drain point you approve rather than over the garden, and photographs the tank before and after so you can inspect the result without climbing to the roof.
“Can I get a same-day appointment in Navjeevan Vihar?” Usually, yes — book before 10 AM and we can typically slot you the same day via our Malviya Nagar route. Scheduled annual bookings can be fixed for a specific date and repeated as a reminder-based service.
