Along the Yamuna between Gandhi Nagar and the ITO bridge, Geeta Colony's decades-old houses often keep plastic tanks that have not been opened in years, carrying long-settled scale. KaamGenie drains them right down, scrubs the walls and disinfects, from ₹699.
Geeta Colony is an old, dense Trans-Yamuna colony along the river between Gandhi Nagar and the ITO bridge, a grid of decades-old houses and rebuilt floors. Supply is DJB with a borewell backup, and the ageing overhead and plastic tanks on these older roofs carry years of scale and sediment. Long-settled colonies like this often have tanks that have not been opened in years, which makes a full clean overdue rather than routine. On these older roofs the plastic overheads hold a deep, hardened layer that a surface rinse cannot reach.
We drain the tank right down, wet-vacuum the long-settled sludge, work the hardened scale and biofilm off the plastic with soft pads, then finish with a anti-bacterial disinfectant wash and before-and-after photographs. Houses with an old underground store as well pair the two under our full water tank cleaning in Geeta Colony. This page keeps to the ageing rooftop Sintex and plastic tanks that these older homes rely on.
The distinctive issue here is age. A plastic tank left unopened for years accumulates layer upon layer of settled sediment and hardened scale, and the translucent Sintex wall has been feeding an algal film onto it the whole time. The plastic itself ages too, its wall discolouring and roughening, which gives the film and scale an even better grip. What builds over years in an old tank is far more than a single season's worth.
Because the layers have set hard over time, they bond to the plastic and to each other, so draining and rinsing barely disturbs them. Residents of these old houses often find the water tastes flat or looks cloudy on the first draw, a sign of how much has settled. Only a full drain-down and a firm soft-pad scrub lifts years of scale and biofilm off the wall, which is why an overdue tank benefits most from a proper clean.
No travel charge anywhere in Geeta Colony. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“Our tank has not been opened in years, is it worth cleaning now?” Very much so. Years of settled sediment and hardened scale build up in an unopened tank, and the older the layer, the more it affects the water. A full drain-down and scrub clears it, and starting a regular schedule afterwards keeps it from returning to that state.
“The plastic tank looks discoloured with age, can it still be cleaned?” Yes. An aged wall discolours and roughens, which helps scale and film grip, but a soft-pad scrub still lifts the deposit off it. If the wall is cracked or badly perished we will tell you, but most old tanks clean up well and serve on.
“What does cleaning an old rooftop plastic tank cost?” A standard tank up to 500 litres starts at ₹699, with a modest step up for larger sizes. An old house with both a rooftop tank and an underground store is quoted together.
“Will draining an old tank stir up a lot of dirt?” There will be more settled sludge than in a regularly cleaned tank, which is exactly why we drain it right down and wet-vacuum the floor rather than just rinsing. That removes the long-settled layer instead of stirring it back into the water.
“How often should an old-house tank be cleaned once it is done?” Once cleared, twice a year keeps an older tank in good order and quarterly is better if the supply is hard. The point is not to let it drift back into the years-unopened state it started in.
