In Rana Pratap Bagh the water settles twice on its way to the tap, once in the underground sump and again in the rooftop tank, and on these decades-old plots both fill quietly with sludge. KaamGenie cleans the overhead tanks that feed the taps. From ₹699.
Rana Pratap Bagh is a settled residential colony near Kamla Nagar and Shakti Nagar, made up of older independent houses and newer builder floors on DJB piped supply. The common arrangement here draws municipal water into an underground sump and then pumps it up to an overhead tank on the roof, so the water rests twice before a tap ever runs. Each of those resting points drops sediment, and the rooftop tank, sitting warm in the sun, also grows a film on its walls. Many of these plots are decades old, and their ageing plumbing sheds rust and scale into the water along the way. Because both the tank and the sump stay closed for years at a time, sludge builds up unseen in both. It keeps deepening until a proper clean finally lifts it out.
We clean the rooftop overhead tank end to end. The crew drains it, scoops out the settled sludge, jet-washes the scale off the walls, hand-scrubs the corners and outlet, then applies an anti-bacterial disinfectant wash before refilling. Dated before-and-after photos come to you on WhatsApp. This page is part of our wider water tank cleaning in Rana Pratap Bagh service and focuses specifically on the overhead (rooftop) tanks rather than the underground sump.
The double-storage setup means sediment gets two chances to build. Grit that escapes the sump is pumped up and settles again in the rooftop tank, so the overhead vessel is fed a slow drip of silt with every cycle. On these older plots the ageing pipes add rust to the mix, darkening the sludge on the tank floor. The rooftop tank ends up carrying the combined load of the sump, the pipes and its own warm-water film.
Years of neglect do the rest. Because the tap water usually looks fine, owners assume the tank behind it is fine too, and both the sump and the overhead tank can go unopened for a very long time. Still water in a warm rooftop tank is exactly what lets biofilm spread and scale set. On a decades-old Rana Pratap Bagh plot, an annual clean of the overhead tank keeps the final stage before your tap from being the dirtiest one.
No travel charge anywhere in Rana Pratap Bagh. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“Should I clean the overhead tank or the sump first?” The overhead tank first, because it is the last stop before your taps and the one this page covers. Cleaning it gives the quickest improvement to the water you actually use. If you want the sump done too we will quote it separately, and booking both in one visit costs less than two trips.
“Water sits in both my sump and rooftop tank. Does that make it dirtier?” It can, because the water settles twice and each stage drops sediment, so the rooftop tank receives grit that already passed through the sump. That is why the overhead tank often holds more sludge than owners expect. We drain and scrub it out fully, and the double-settling is exactly why an annual clean matters on these plots.
“The plot is decades old. Will the tank hold up to a drain-down?” We drain older tanks gently and check as we go. If we find a crack or a weak fitting we stop and show you before continuing, so nothing worsens on our watch. Older tanks are the ones that most need cleaning, and handling them carefully is part of the job here.
“How often should the rooftop tank be cleaned?” Once a year is the right baseline for a Rana Pratap Bagh home, and sooner if the water tastes flat or the plumbing is very old and shedding rust. We can look inside on the first visit and give you an honest interval, then set a reminder so it does not slip for years as these tanks tend to.
“What does it cost for the rooftop tank?” A single 500-litre tank starts at ₹699 and a 1,000-litre one is ₹899. Larger 1,001 to 2,000-litre tanks are ₹1,299 to ₹1,499. If you want the whole building's tanks, or the tank and sump together, done in one visit we quote ₹2,400 to ₹3,000 depending on count and size.
