In Chawri Bazar, where paper and brass traders work below packed living floors, the small plastic terrace tank greens fast because its walls let light through. KaamGenie cleans it gently, hygienic and photographed. From ₹699.
Chawri Bazar trades in paper, hardware and brass, with cramped residential floors stacked directly over the shopfronts. The rooftop water store on these old buildings is a small overhead Sintex or plastic tank, and it collects grit steadily under the constant market dust. Because the plastic is translucent, sunlight passes through the wall and warms the water, which is the trigger algae and biofilm need to establish. Fine dust from the trade drifts in through ageing lids and lays a rough layer on the tank floor. A concrete tank would keep that light out, but a plastic one lets it in, so the inside turns green well before the residents upstairs notice any change. Reached only up tight, crowded staircases, these terrace tanks are commonly left untouched for long stretches.
We clean these plastic tanks with a careful, low-pressure routine: inspect the body and lid, drain the tank, hand-scoop the slimy sediment, wet-vacuum the base and jet-wash at a plastic-safe pressure. The algae film lifts with soft pads instead of wire brushes, and we finish with an anti-bacterial disinfectant wash and share before and after photos. If your building also needs a ground sump or an RCC tank serviced, see our full water tank cleaning in Chawri Bazar. This page is specifically about Sintex and plastic tanks.
Start with the wall. A Sintex tank is made of translucent plastic, so sun reaching the terrace passes straight through and warms the water inside, and that warmth is what algae and biofilm live on. Concrete blocks the light; plastic does not. So even on the same piped DJB supply, a plastic tank in Chawri Bazar develops a green, slippery film while a concrete one stays comparatively clear. Through the summer that film can appear within a few weeks of a clean.
Then there is the trade dust. Chawri Bazar's paper and hardware business throws up a constant haze that settles into terrace tanks through worn lids, building a gritty base on the plastic floor. Algae grips that rough deposit far harder than it would clean plastic, so the coating thickens quickly. With the tanks sitting at the top of narrow, goods-crowded stairs, cleaning is repeatedly deferred, and the sediment and film get well established before anyone opens the lid.
No travel charge anywhere in Chawri Bazar. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“Is the tank on a Chawri Bazar shop-cum-residence something you clean?” Yes, it is exactly the kind of job we do daily in the walled city. A single Sintex on the terrace of a paper or brass shop with floors above is straightforward for us, checked, drained, scooped and disinfected on one visit.
“How much do you charge for a small plastic tank in Chawri Bazar?” A Sintex up to 500 litres starts at ₹699 and a standard 1000L is ₹899. Tanks between 1000 and 2000L are ₹1,299 to ₹1,499, and multiple plastic tanks on one building get a bulk per-tank rate.
“Does jet-washing at pressure harm the plastic?” No, because we tune the jet specifically for plastic. It lifts scale and biofilm without cracking or gouging the wall, and we scrub the algae film with soft pads, never wire brushes, which would leave scratches for algae to settle into.
“The staircase is packed with stock, can you still get up?” Yes. Our crew is used to tight, goods-choked walled-city stairs and carries compact equipment, so a crowded staircase does not stop the job. Just point us to the terrace when we arrive.
“How do I know the tank is properly clean afterwards?” We send you before and after photos of the inside of the tank, so you can see the sediment and green film gone. The finishing anti-bacterial disinfectant wash is done after the scrub, not instead of it.
