Dashrath Puri’s paired 500L tanks sit on steel stands that the iron-rich borewell water is quietly rusting — and the same iron stains the tank walls orange inside. KaamGenie cleans the tanks and checks the stands. From ₹699.
Dashrath Puri is a compact regularised colony on the Dabri-Palam road with its own Magenta Line station — tight lanes of family-owned three-storey homes, most with a rental floor. The signature rooftop setup is a pair of 500L plastic tanks side by side on a welded steel stand. The borewell water runs rich in iron, and it shows twice over: orange staining inside the translucent tank walls, and rust eating the stand underneath, which flakes into the tank whenever the lid is opened.
KaamGenie cleans Dashrath Puri’s plastic tanks the right way — drain, wet-vacuum the iron sediment and rust flakes, soft jet-wash at a plastic-safe pressure, hand-scrub the orange staining with soft pads, then a food-grade disinfectant rinse with dated before-after photos, plus a plain-language note on the condition of your stand. For the broader service, see water tank cleaning in Dashrath Puri; this page is specifically about Sintex and plastic tanks.
Iron in borewell water oxidises once it hits air in the tank, settling as an orange-brown sediment and staining the plastic walls the colour Dashrath Puri residents know well. It also fouls float valves faster than plain hardness does — the iron deposit is sticky, so valves here jam open and overflow more than anywhere nearby. Because the tank walls are translucent, the staining plus sunlight gives biofilm a warm, tinted environment it thrives in; an orange tank is rarely just stained.
The stands are the second half. The same iron-laden overflow and splash that stains the tanks runs down the welded steel stands year after year, and many in Dashrath Puri are now scabbed with rust at the joints — flakes drop into open tanks during every plumber visit, and a badly eaten stand under two full 500L tanks is carrying a third of a tonne. On every clean we vacuum out the rust and iron silt, scrub the staining back, descale the valve, and photograph the stand’s condition so you can decide about repainting or rewelding before it decides for you.
No travel charge anywhere in Dashrath Puri. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“Can the orange staining inside our tank be removed completely?” Mostly, yes. Fresh iron staining scrubs back well with soft pads at plastic-safe pressure; staining that has bonded into an ageing tank wall over years may leave a faint tint, but the surface comes clean and safe either way. What matters is removing the iron sediment feeding the stain, which the wet-vacuum stage does.
“What is the price for our pair of 500L tanks?” Each 500L tank is ₹699, so a standard Dashrath Puri pair is two tanks at that rate, both fully drained, vacuumed, jet-washed, scrubbed and disinfected food-grade with photos. If the building runs four or more tanks across floors, the per-tank bulk rate applies instead.
“Do you check the steel stand under the tanks?” Yes, on every Dashrath Puri visit — we photograph the stand joints and legs while the tanks are drained and light, and give you a plain note on rust condition. Cleaning is our job and welding is not, but telling you a stand needs attention before it fails under 1,000 kilos of water absolutely is.
“Why does our float valve keep jamming open?” Iron-rich water is the culprit — the deposit it leaves is stickier than ordinary scale, so Dashrath Puri valves gum open and overflow more than in neighbouring colonies. We descale and free the valve on every clean; if the washer is eaten through we tell you so a plumber can replace it cheaply.
“How soon can you come to Dashrath Puri?” Call 95603 66362 before 10 AM and we can usually reach you the same day — the colony sits right on our Dabri-Palam run. We time the visit for when your tanks are low so minimal water is wasted, and the evening refill lands in clean tanks.
