In Batla House, the plastic and Sintex tanks crammed onto tall Jamia Nagar builder floors are drawn down all day, yet still turn green fast because light feeds algae through the walls. We clean them gently and food-grade. From ₹699.
Batla House is one of the densest parts of Jamia Nagar, a maze of tall builder floors packed with families, rental homes and student PGs on narrow lanes near Jamia Millia. Almost every rooftop carries a plastic or Sintex overhead tank, because concrete is heavy and space on these buildings is tight. With so many people drawing water, the tanks are refilled constantly — but constant refilling is exactly what keeps feeding the algae and biofilm inside plastic tanks here.
The area runs on DJB topped up with hard Okhla borewell water, a combination that leaves scale on plastic and keeps sediment moving through the tanks. If you also need an underground tank cleaned or want the whole building handled at once, our general water tank cleaning in Batla House page covers every option. This page, though, is specifically about Sintex and plastic tanks and why they need gentle, wire-brush-free cleaning.
You would think a heavily used tank would stay clean, but in Batla House the opposite happens. The plastic walls let daylight in, and every refill brings fresh nutrients and spores, so the algae never run short of food. On a crowded builder floor the water is also kept warm by the occupancy below and the summer sun above. Light, warmth and constant fresh feed together let a green film spread across a plastic tank far quicker than on cool, dark concrete.
The hard borewell water is the second driver. Okhla groundwater runs mineral-heavy, and that mineral settles as a rough, chalky scale on the plastic floor and around the outlet, where slime then clings. Dust from the packed, traffic-heavy lanes drifts in through lids that rarely seal on these self-built roofs. With the tank refilled many times a day, the sediment is stirred but never removed, so the gritty, slippery build-up just keeps growing.
No travel charge anywhere in Batla House. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

We reach every pocket of Batla House — and there’s no travel charge to any of them:
“Do you cover Sintex tank cleaning near Muradi Road and Nai Basti in Batla House?” Yes. We work right across Batla House, including the main lanes, Nai Basti, Muradi Road, Ghaffar Manzil and the stretch towards Zakir Nagar. We are used to reaching the rooftop plastic tanks on tall builder floors down narrow lanes, so a same-week slot for your Sintex tank is normally easy.
“What does it cost to clean a 500 to 1000 litre Sintex tank here?” A plastic loft tank up to 500 litres starts at ₹699, and a standard 1000 litre Sintex tank is ₹899. That covers draining, removing the slimy sediment, a plastic-safe jet wash, hand-scrubbing and a food-grade sanitiser, with photos on WhatsApp. A building with several tanks, as many here have, gets a bulk discount on four or more.
“Can you clean my plastic tank the same day I call?” Usually yes. Batla House is a core area for us, so same-day or next-morning visits are common when you call early. A single 500 to 1000 litre Sintex tank takes around ninety minutes, and once it refills your floor is back to normal supply the same day.
“Why does my Sintex tank in Batla House go green even with heavy daily use?” Even with heavy use, Batla House plastic tanks go green because the walls let sunlight in and every refill brings new spores and nutrients. On a crowded, warm builder floor that is ideal for algae. The water moving through does not clean the walls; it only keeps feeding the film, which is why it returns within weeks unless the tank is scrubbed.
“Is pressure washing safe for a plastic tank, and how do you remove algae without scratching it?” It is safe because we tune the jet wash to a pressure meant for plastic, so the Sintex walls are never cracked, even on older sun-worn tanks. The algae film comes off with soft pads, never wire brushes, since wire scratches the plastic and lets biofilm regrow faster. A food-grade disinfectant then clears the remaining spores before refilling.
