On the packed rooftops of Majnu Ka Tila, the small Sintex tank feeding your guesthouse or family floor is often shared by many, and its plastic walls let daylight through to grow algae quickly. KaamGenie cleans it gently, hygienic and photographed. From ₹699.
Aruna Nagar, the Tibetan colony most people call Majnu Ka Tila, stacks guesthouses and family floors along lanes so narrow the sun still lands squarely on the small plastic tanks up top. Those overhead tanks tend to be modest per-floor Sintex units shared by several rooms, so they fill and empty all day with heavy guest and resident use. Because Sintex walls are translucent, that constant riverside sun passes straight through and warms the water, and warm water is exactly what algae and a slimy biofilm feed on. Dust blowing off the Yamuna belt drifts in through loose lids and settles as a fine grit on the tank floor. A concrete tank would block the light, but plastic does not, so the inside greens up between cleanings far sooner than owners expect. With busy floors and awkward access behind congested lanes, these tanks are also the ones most often skipped.
Our crew works these small plastic tanks carefully: first we check the tank body and lid for cracks, then drain it, scoop out the slimy sediment layer by hand and wet-vacuum what remains. We follow with a soft jet-wash set to a plastic-safe pressure, hand-scrub the algae film with soft pads rather than wire brushes, and finish with an anti-bacterial disinfectant wash, sending you before and after photos. If your building also needs an underground store or an RCC rooftop tank done, see our full water tank cleaning in Aruna Nagar. This page focuses specifically on Sintex and plastic tanks.
A Sintex tank on an open Majnu Ka Tila terrace gets full daylight from morning to evening. Light passes through the translucent plastic wall, warms the water inside, and that warmth is what algae and biofilm need to bloom. In a shared guesthouse tank the water is drawn down and refilled many times a day, which keeps stirring in dust and never lets the tank settle clean. Put light, warmth and constant refilling together and a plastic tank turns green and slippery inside within a few weeks.
The colony's position right on the river belt adds a steady load of fine dust and grit that rides in on loose or ill-fitting lids. That grit settles into a rough layer on the plastic floor, and the algae film then grips onto it more stubbornly than it would on smooth, clean plastic. High turnover in the guest floors means nobody clearly owns the upkeep of a shared tank, so cleaning slips for months. By the time the water smells, the walls are already well coated.
No travel charge anywhere in Aruna Nagar (Majnu Ka Tila). The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“Are the shared Sintex tanks on Majnu Ka Tila guesthouses something you handle?” Yes, they are a large part of what we do here. A single per-floor Sintex shared by several rooms is our routine job, and we clean each one the same careful way, checking the lid, draining, scooping the slimy layer and finishing with a disinfectant wash. If a building has two or three plastic tanks feeding different floors, we do them together on one visit.
“How much for a small 500-litre plastic tank in Aruna Nagar?” A loft or per-floor Sintex up to 500 litres starts at ₹699, and a standard 1000L tank is ₹899. If your building has several plastic tanks across floors, we quote a bulk per-tank rate so the whole property is cheaper than booking each one alone.
“The tank is behind very narrow lanes, can your crew still reach it?” That is normal for us in Majnu Ka Tila. Our team carries compact equipment up tight interior stairs and works in cramped terrace spaces, so congested access is not a barrier. Just tell us which floor and roof the tank sits on when you call.
“Does the dust off the river really get into a closed tank?” It does, mostly through loose or broken lids. Fine grit drifts off the Yamuna belt and settles as a layer on the plastic floor, and the algae film then clings to that rough deposit. We clear the sediment and reseat or flag a poor lid so less gets in before the next clean.
“My guesthouse rooms are always full, when can you drain the tank?” We plan around your water-supply timing so the tank is refilled before guests need it. Tell us your fill hours and we schedule the drain and clean in the quiet window, usually finishing a single plastic tank well within the morning.
