Sintex & Plastic Tank Cleaning in Jungpura

Sintex & plastic tanks in Jungpura

Jungpura A and B and the Extension are older, tightly built pockets of kothis and builder floors near Nizamuddin and Lajpat Nagar. Water is stored in rooftop overhead tanks, and on these older houses those tanks are almost always plastic or Sintex, added over the years as homes were extended and subdivided. The roofs are close together and largely unshaded, so the plastic tanks sit in full sun, and full sun on a plastic tank is precisely what lets algae take hold inside.

The colony runs on DJB supply, and the fine silt it carries settles on plastic floors between cleans. If your building also has an underground tank or you want a fuller service, our general water tank cleaning in Jungpura page covers it. This page is specifically about Sintex and plastic tanks — the rooftop overhead tanks on Jungpura’s older houses that turn green and slimy soonest.

Why Sintex tanks in Jungpura go green so quickly

The plastic tanks on Jungpura’s older roofs sit unshaded and close-packed, so they catch sun for most of the day. Light passing through the coloured walls is exactly what green algae need, and the rooftop heat keeps the water warm into the evening. A concrete tank would stay dark and cool inside, slowing any bloom, but Sintex and plastic light up and warm through. That is why the plastic overhead tanks here develop a green film well before the next clean is due.

The age of the buildings adds the second problem. Many of these tanks and their lids are old and no longer seal, so dust from the busy Nizamuddin and Bhogal lanes drifts straight in. The DJB water leaves a fine silt that settles on the plastic floor, and around the outlet a scale ring traps slime. Because the tanks are often filled and forgotten on these older homes, the sediment and biofilm quietly build into a slippery, gritty layer between cleans.

How we do it — our 8-step process

• 1. Inspect & drain We check the tank and lid, then drain it down, saving what clean water we can.
• 2. Sediment removal Settled grit and the slimy layer at the bottom are scooped and wet-vacuumed out.
• 3. Soft jet wash Walls, floor and ceiling are jet-washed at a pressure safe for plastic — no gouging or cracking.
• 4. Manual scrub The algae film and inlet/outlet mouths are hand-scrubbed with soft pads, not wire brushes.
• 5. Anti-bacterial treatment A food-grade disinfectant wash kills remaining bacteria and algae spores.
• 6. Vacuum & rinse Loosened dirt is vacuumed out and the tank rinsed clean and ready to refill.
• 7. Lid & overflow check We reseat the lid and check the overflow so light and dust can’t feed new algae.
• 8. Photos & certificate Before/after photos and a dated service record sent to you on WhatsApp.

Common questions from Jungpura customers

“Do you clean Sintex tanks in Jungpura Extension and Bhogal?” Yes. We cover all of Jungpura, including Jungpura A, Jungpura B, the Extension and the Bhogal lanes towards Nizamuddin and Lajpat Nagar. We are used to reaching rooftop plastic tanks on older, tightly built houses, so arranging a same-week slot for your Sintex tank is usually straightforward.

“What does it cost to clean a 500 to 1000 litre Sintex tank here?” A plastic tank up to 500 litres starts at ₹699, and a standard 1000 litre Sintex tank is ₹899. The price covers draining, removing the silt and slime, a plastic-safe wash, hand-scrubbing and a food-grade disinfectant rinse, with photos afterwards. If a building has several plastic tanks, we give a bulk discount on four or more done together.

“Can you clean my plastic tank the same day I call?” Usually yes. Jungpura is close to our regular Nizamuddin and Lajpat Nagar routes, so same-day or next-day visits are normally possible. A single Sintex tank takes about ninety minutes, and once it refills your home is back to normal supply the same day, with a photo record on WhatsApp.

“Why does my Sintex tank in Jungpura go green so fast?” Jungpura’s rooftop tanks are plastic and sit in open sun on close-packed older roofs, so light passes through the walls to feed algae. With old lids that no longer seal, dust and spores get in easily. Rinsing will not remove the film, so the green, slimy layer keeps returning until the tank walls are scrubbed and disinfected.

“Is pressure washing safe for a plastic tank, and how do you remove algae without scratching it?” Yes, at the right pressure. We jet-wash Sintex and plastic tanks at a setting made for the material, so even an older, sun-worn tank is not cracked. Algae comes off with soft pads, never wire brushes, which scratch the plastic and let biofilm regrow. A food-grade sanitiser finishes the clean without harming the tank.
