Signs Your Water Tank Needs Cleaning

Few parts of Delhi pack in as much cooperative housing as IP Extension, where hundreds of society blocks off Patparganj Road each keep a bank of rooftop plastic tanks. KaamGenie cleans them on the quarterly cadence these societies run, hygienic and photographed, from ₹699.
This is Patparganj's cooperative-society heartland, one of the largest concentrations of CGHS group-housing anywhere in Delhi, with multi-storey blocks lining the Patparganj and Hasanpur roads. Every block draws from a large underground sump that feeds rooftop overhead tanks serving dozens of flats each, so this is textbook society tank territory. The rooftop stores are usually Sintex or plastic, filled and drained around the clock as families come and go. Big capacities and constant use mean the plastic overheads pick up sediment and film that a casual look never reveals.
Our crew works to a society scale: draining each rooftop tank, wet-vacuuming the pumped-up silt, soft-scrubbing the plastic walls, then hygienic disinfecting and photographing every tank for the RWA's maintenance register. Committees managing the ground sump alongside the roof tanks book both under our full water tank cleaning in IP Extension. This page concentrates on the Sintex and plastic overheads that top each block.
A rooftop plastic tank serving a whole block never rests: it is refilled the moment it drops, so the water is always moving yet rarely runs low enough to clear its floor. On an open roof the translucent Sintex wall lets daylight warm that water, and a green film starts on the sunlit side while sediment settles below. The higher the block's occupancy, the harder the tank works and the quicker both appear.
Because the water is lifted from a sump, the overhead also inherits whatever fine silt travels up the pump line, adding to the biofilm on its walls. Sent out to dozens of families, that mix shows up as a cloudy first draw, a flat taste and appliances that scale sooner across the block. A quarterly drain-and-scrub of every rooftop tank keeps a large society's water honest, which is why these blocks schedule it rather than react to it.
No travel charge anywhere in IP Extension. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“Do you handle a full block of society tanks in one visit?” Yes. For a CGHS block with several rooftop tanks we send a crew sized to do them all in a single visit, draining and scrubbing each in turn and photographing every one for the committee's file. It is how most blocks here prefer to run it.
“What is the quarterly rate for a society block's plastic tanks?” Per rooftop tank the price starts at ₹699, and for a block with four or more we quote a bulk per-tank rate that brings the cost down. Many committees here fix a standing quarterly booking at that rate so the date never gets missed.
“Should the sump be cleaned on the same day as the roof tanks?” It makes sense to. Silt in the sump is pumped up into the overheads, so cleaning both together stops the roof tanks being re-dirtied straight after. We can quote the block's sump and rooftop tanks as one job.
“How do you keep records for the RWA?” We photograph the inside of each tank before and after and hand the set to the committee, dated per tank. Societies here use these to show residents the round was completed and to plan the next quarter's clean.
“Can the clean be timed around the block's supply hours?” Yes. We schedule so each tank is at its lowest when we start and refilled before the next supply window, so no flat in the block is left without water during the job.
