In Palam your rooftop overhead tank is the final stop before the tap, and hard local groundwater scales it fast. KaamGenie cleans overhead tanks across the plotted houses, builder floors and quarters between Dwarka and Sagarpur. From ₹699.
Palam is an old village-and-colony belt near the airport, packed with plotted houses, builder floors and defence-area quarters between Dwarka and Sagarpur. Water is a mix of DJB pipeline and borewells, and the local groundwater tends to be hard with high TDS. On a rooftop tank that mix leaves a chalky scale on the walls, and with dense occupancy churning the water it drops a steady layer of sediment on the floor.
KaamGenie cleans these rooftop tanks the proper way — drain, scoop the sludge, high-pressure jet-wash the scale, hand-scrub the corners, then a food-grade disinfectant wash, finished with before and after photos and a dated certificate. This is our dedicated page for water tank cleaning in Palam, focused specifically on the overhead (rooftop) tanks that feed your taps.
Palam’s groundwater is hard, and with borewells filling in wherever the pipeline falls short, most rooftop tanks see a steady mineral load. That settles as scale on the walls, and every refill from a mixed source adds a little pipe sediment on top. Since the overhead tank feeds your taps directly with no filter after it, that buildup ends up in your buckets.
The belt is densely occupied, with many builder floors and quarters drawing hard on a single rooftop tank. That constant use keeps sediment stirred instead of settled, and the airport-side dust plus loose lids let more grit in. For a busy building in Palam, cleaning every six months keeps the water clear.
No travel charge anywhere in Palam. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

We reach every pocket of Palam — and there’s no travel charge to any of them:
“Do you clean rooftop tanks in Palam Colony and the village?” Yes, both Palam village and the surrounding colonies like Raj Nagar and Sadh Nagar are on our regular round. Our crew carries the pump and hose up to the roof to clean the overhead tank directly. Give us the house number and a landmark when you book and we will find you.
“What does a 1000L overhead tank cost in Palam?” A single 1000L rooftop tank starts at ₹699, including drain, sludge removal, jet wash, food-grade disinfectant and the dated certificate. Because Palam groundwater is hard, a neglected tank may need extra scrubbing, which we flag before starting. The base price covers a normal tank.
“Can you come the same day?” Usually yes for a single rooftop tank in Palam. If you call in the morning we can often reach the same afternoon, especially as Palam sits on our Dwarka-Sagarpur round. A late booking may become first thing next day depending on the load.
“Is the disinfectant safe for a family drinking this water?” Yes. It is a food-grade disinfectant made for drinking-water storage, and we rinse it out fully before you refill. This matters in Palam because the hard borewell-and-pipeline mix goes straight from the overhead tank to your tap with no filter, so a clean tank is your main safeguard.
“How much water is lost when you drain the tank?” Only the scaled, silty water at the bottom you would not want to use — the last few inches. We time the clean for when your tank is low so the loss stays small. Clean water above the sludge line we leave in place where the setup allows.
