In Chand Nagar, water is pumped from ground drums up to small roof tanks — a two-step chain where sediment settles twice and gets cleaned never. KaamGenie cleans drum and tank in one visit, food-grade throughout. From ₹699.
Chand Nagar is a working-class colony on the Khyala side toward Raghubir Nagar — JJ-resettlement rows, small plotted homes and lanes alive with garment work. DJB supply lands in a timed morning window at ground level, where households catch it in drums; shared motors then push it up to small plastic tanks on the low roofs. That drum-to-tank transfer is the colony’s hidden problem: sediment settles once in the drum, gets stirred and pumped upstairs, then settles again in the tank — two dirty stages most households never clean.
KaamGenie cleans the whole chain in one visit — the rooftop plastic tank gets the full drain, wet-vacuum, soft jet-wash at plastic-safe pressure, soft-pad scrub and food-grade disinfectant rinse with dated before-after photos, and the ground drums are scrubbed and disinfected in the same slot so the next pump-up starts clean. For anything beyond the plastic stores, see water tank cleaning in Chand Nagar; this page is specifically about Sintex and plastic tanks.
Every transfer stirs what has settled. The morning fill drops its sediment in the drum; hours later the shared motor churns that drum from the bottom — where the silt lies thickest — and delivers a cloudy mix to the roof tank, which then settles its own layer into the moulded floor ribs. By the time water reaches a Chand Nagar tap it has been settled and re-stirred twice, and cleaning only one stage leaves the other to re-dirty it within weeks. The small translucent roof tanks add the usual sun-fed film on top.
The colony’s texture matters too: garment-work lanes put fibre dust in the air that finds loosely covered drums at ground level, and shared motors serve several households, so the pumping schedule is nobody’s to pause and the drums rarely empty fully. We work around that — cleaning tank and drums in the gap after the morning window, coordinating with the motor-sharing neighbours, and finishing before the evening draw. On this two-stage system a six-monthly combined clean is what actually keeps the taps clear.
No travel charge anywhere in Chand Nagar. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“Do you clean the ground drums too, or only the roof tank?” Both, in one visit — in Chand Nagar cleaning only the tank is half a job, because the next pump-up carries the drum’s sediment straight back into it. Drums are scrubbed and disinfected with the same food-grade process, and covers are checked and reseated.
“What does the combined visit cost?” The roof tank is ₹699 up to 500 litres — the usual Chand Nagar size — or ₹899 for 501-1,000L, and drums are a small add-on quoted by size and number when you book. For most homes here the full two-stage clean stays well within a working family’s budget.
“Our motor is shared with neighbours. How do you manage the timing?” We schedule for the quiet stretch after the morning supply window, tell the motor-sharing households the plan, and finish before the evening draw — the pump stays off only while the tank and drums are actually being cleaned. Most Chand Nagar cleans are done inside two hours.
“Why is our water cloudy even on days the supply comes clean?” Because of the double transfer — sediment already lying in your drum and tank gets stirred every time the motor runs, so even clean supply picks up old silt on the way to your tap. Once both stages are vacuumed clean there is nothing left to stir, and the cloudiness goes.
“Can you come the same day in Chand Nagar?” Usually — we cover the Khyala-Raghubir Nagar side daily, so calls to 95603 66362 before 10 AM generally land a same-day slot timed to the gap after your morning supply. Later calls are booked for the next morning’s window.
