Dareeba runs into the glittering Kinari Bazar, where tiny rooftop plastic tanks over ageing havelis green quickly because light passes through their walls. KaamGenie cleans them gently, hygienic and photographed. From ₹699.
Dareeba, spilling into the crowded Kinari Bazar of jewellery and wedding trims, is one of the tightest lanes in the old city, with packed residences sitting above the shops. The water store on these ageing havelis is a tiny rooftop Sintex or plastic tank drawing on the walled-city DJB lines. Its translucent plastic wall lets terrace sunlight through, warming the water so algae and biofilm can take hold quietly. Thick bazaar dust drifts in past old lids and gathers as sediment on the tank floor. A concrete store would block that light, yet plastic invites it in, so the inside greens up without any outward sign. With terraces perched above jammed narrow lanes and steep stairs, cleaning is repeatedly deferred here.
On these small tanks we keep the process gentle and thorough: check the plastic body and lid, drain, scoop the slimy layer by hand, wet-vacuum the base and jet-wash at a plastic-safe pressure. We lift the algae film with soft pads rather than wire brushes and finish with an anti-bacterial disinfectant wash, then send before and after photos. If your haveli also has an underground store or an old RCC tank to clean, see our full water tank cleaning in Dareeba. This page is specifically about Sintex and plastic tanks.
It comes down to the plastic itself. A Sintex wall is translucent, so sun reaching the haveli terrace passes through and warms the water, and warmth is the one thing algae and biofilm most need to bloom. A concrete tank would shut the light out, but plastic lets it flood in, so on the same walled-city supply a plastic tank greens where a concrete one stays clear. In the small tanks common here, the whole volume warms quickly, so the film appears sooner still.
Dareeba's bazaar dust compounds it. The lanes are dense and dusty, and grit keeps drifting into the tank through worn lids, laying a rough film on the plastic floor that the algae then grips. Because the tanks are so small, even a modest layer of sediment noticeably fouls the water. Access up steep haveli stairs above congested lanes keeps cleaning off the calendar for months, so the film and grit build well past the point most owners expect.

“Can you clean the very small tanks on Dareeba havelis?” Yes, small tanks are common here and we clean them fully, no matter how compact. Even a modest rooftop Sintex gets the same steps, a lid check, drain, hand-scoop of the slimy layer, jet-wash and disinfectant finish.
“A small tank fouls quickly, how often should I clean it?” Because Dareeba's tanks are small and the bazaar dust is heavy, we suggest every three to four months. In a small volume even a thin layer of sediment affects the water, so more frequent cleaning keeps it clear.
“What is the price for a tiny 500-litre plastic tank?” A Sintex up to 500 litres starts at ₹699, and a standard 1000L is ₹899. If your haveli has more than one plastic tank across floors, we quote a bulk per-tank rate so the whole building is cheaper.
“The lane below is always jammed, does that delay you?” No. Our crew walks in with compact equipment and works up the haveli stairs, so a crowded lane does not hold up the cleaning. Give us the address and floor and we manage the access.
“Do you use anything harsh that could stay in a plastic tank?” No. We finish with an anti-bacterial disinfectant wash and then rinse the tank, so nothing harsh is left behind, and we avoid wire brushes that would scratch the plastic. The tank is ready to refill with clean water when we leave.
