Above the wholesale godowns of Baratooti in Sadar Bazar, the small plastic tank on your terrace collects market dust all day, and its see-through walls let algae take hold fast. KaamGenie cleans it gently, hygienic and photographed. From ₹699.
Baratooti sits deep in the Sadar Bazar wholesale belt, where old multi-storey shopfronts double as godowns with cramped living quarters squeezed above the trade. The rooftop store on these buildings is usually a small Sintex or plastic tank, and it stands exposed to the thick dust that the market throws up from dawn to dusk. Sintex walls are translucent, so the sun that reaches the terrace passes through the plastic and warms the water, giving algae and biofilm the heat they need to spread. At the same time, fine bazaar grit sifts in through worn lids and settles on the tank floor. A concrete tank would keep the light out, but plastic lets it straight in, so these tanks go green well before owners think to check. Perched above busy warehouses and reached only by steep interior stairs, they are also among the most neglected in the walled city.
We handle these cramped terrace tanks with a gentle routine: check the plastic body and lid, drain the tank, lift out the slimy sediment by hand and wet-vacuum the base, then jet-wash at a pressure that is safe for plastic. The algae film comes off with soft pads, never wire brushes, and we finish with an anti-bacterial disinfectant wash and share before and after photos. Should you also need the ground-floor sump or an old RCC tank serviced, see our full water tank cleaning in Baratooti. This page is specifically about Sintex and plastic tanks.
Two things work against a Sintex tank here. First, the plastic wall is translucent, so terrace sunlight passes through and warms the water, and warm water is what lets algae and biofilm establish. Second, Baratooti's air is thick with wholesale-market dust that keeps landing on and drifting into the tank. That dust becomes a gritty film on the floor, and the warm, lit water above it turns the whole inside green and slippery quicker than in a shaded concrete store.
The grit is the part owners underestimate. Once a layer of market sediment coats the plastic floor, the algae film has a rough surface to grip, and it holds on far harder than it would on smooth plastic. Because the tanks sit above working godowns and can only be reached up steep, goods-choked stairs, cleaning is postponed for months at a stretch. By then the sediment has hardened and the biofilm has spread up the walls, which is why a proper drain-and-scrub matters here.

“Can you reach a plastic tank above a Baratooti godown up steep stairs?” Yes, that access is standard for us. Our crew carries compact gear up narrow, goods-packed interior staircases and works comfortably on cramped terraces, so a tank perched above a warehouse is no problem. Let us know the floor and we plan the route in.
“What will it cost to clean the small terrace tank on my shop-cum-home?” A Sintex up to 500 litres starts at ₹699 and a standard 1000L tank is ₹899. Larger 1000 to 2000L tanks run ₹1,299 to ₹1,499. If the building has more than one plastic tank, we give a bulk per-tank rate.
“How often should a plastic tank in this dusty market be cleaned?” Because Baratooti air carries so much market dust, we suggest cleaning a Sintex tank here every three to four months rather than once a year. The dust builds a gritty base fast, and clearing it regularly stops the algae film from getting a firm hold.
“Will the jet-wash damage an old plastic tank?” No. We set the jet specifically for plastic so it lifts grit and biofilm without cracking the wall, and we scrub with soft pads instead of wire brushes. Wire leaves scratches that algae settle into, so we avoid it on every Sintex tank.
“Do you clean during market hours or after the shops shut?” Whatever suits you. Many owners prefer an early slot before the godown gets busy, and we route the crew to fit your trading and water-supply timing so the tank is full again when you need it.
