Jhandewalan mixes trade offices and electronics markets with older flats, and the plastic tanks that serve both green quietly with no one assigned to clean them. KaamGenie cleans them gently, hygienic and photographed. From ₹699.
Jhandewalan is a mixed commercial-office and residential pocket of Central Delhi, home to trade offices, electronics markets and older flats. The rooftop stores here include Sintex or plastic tanks serving a blend of workplace and residential use on the DJB supply. Being translucent, the plastic lets daylight through the wall to warm the water and feed algae and biofilm. Daily office and home activity keeps the tanks filling and draining, so sediment settles steadily. Market and road dust drifts into loose lids and lays grit on the plastic floor. A concrete tank would block the light, but the plastic ones let it in, so the inside greens quietly. Shared upkeep across offices and homes means the tank cleaning is frequently left unassigned and overdue. No one party clearly owns it, so it slips.
We clean these mixed-use plastic tanks gently and fully: check the body and lid, drain, hand-scoop the slimy sediment, wet-vacuum the base and jet-wash at a plastic-safe pressure. The algae film lifts with soft pads rather than wire brushes, and we finish with an anti-bacterial disinfectant wash and send before and after photos. If the building's underground store or an RCC tank also needs doing, see our full water tank cleaning in Jhandewalan. This page is specifically about Sintex and plastic tanks.
The plastic wall greens the tank while nobody watches. A Sintex tank on a Jhandewalan building is translucent, so daylight passes through and warms the water, and that warmth is what algae and biofilm need to spread. A concrete tank blocks the light and stays cooler, so it holds up, while the exposed plastic one greens on the inside. Daily office and home use keeps the water warm and moving, which speeds the film along on the same DJB supply.
Shared responsibility is the real reason it is overdue. When offices and flats share a rooftop tank, its cleaning is nobody's clear job, so it is left unassigned between long intervals. Road and market dust drifting in through loose lids lays grit on the plastic floor for the algae to grip, and the mixed daily activity keeps the tank working. Left unattended, the plastic tank coats up well past what either the office or the residents expect, so agreeing a scheduled clean is the simple fix.
No travel charge anywhere in Jhandewalan. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“Offices and flats share our tank, who should arrange cleaning?” Any one party can book, and it helps to agree between the offices and the flats since the tank serves both. We clean it on one visit and send photos so everyone can confirm the result.
“Do you clean tanks for both office and residential use?” Yes. We clean the Sintex and plastic tanks serving a mix of trade offices, electronics-market premises and flats in Jhandewalan, the same careful way, with a disinfectant finish and photo records.
“What does cleaning a mixed-use plastic tank cost?” A Sintex up to 500 litres starts at ₹699 and a standard 1000L is ₹899. Larger 1000 to 2000L tanks are ₹1,299 to ₹1,499, with a bulk per-tank rate if the building has several tanks.
“No one has cleaned it in a long time, is that a problem?” It just means more accumulated sediment and a thicker film, which we clear in a full drain and scrub. We show you photos of the interior before and after so you can see how much was there.
“Can you work without disrupting the offices below?” Yes. We work on the terrace and time the drain to the building's water-supply hours, so the offices and flats carry on and the tank is refilled before anyone needs water.
