Sintex and plastic tanks store the borewell water in most Maidan Garhi homes, and near IGNOU they scale and grow algae quickly. KaamGenie cleans them with a plastic-safe soft wash and anti-bacterial disinfection. From ₹699.
Maidan Garhi is a semi-rural urban village near IGNOU and Chattarpur, mixing old village housing, farmhouses and expanding builder floors on the southern ridge. DJB piped reach is limited, so households lean on private borewells drawing hard, high-TDS groundwater. Large underground sumps feed rooftop Sintex and plastic overhead tanks, and because the plastic walls let light through, algae and biofilm establish faster than they would in a concrete tank.
The mineral-heavy borewell water leaves thick scale on the tank walls, and once light warms the stored water a slimy green film forms over that scale. A plastic-safe clean removes both, and it pairs with our full water tank cleaning in Maidan Garhi so the big underground sump and the rooftop Sintex are both looked after.
The borewell water here is hard and high in TDS, so it deposits a chalky mineral scale on the inside of every tank. Because a Sintex tank is translucent, sunlight passes through and feeds algae on top of that scale, turning it into a slimy green film. On the exposed ridge rooftops, the warmth speeds this up between cleanings.
We drain the tank, scoop out the settled sediment, then soft jet-wash at plastic-safe pressure so the scale is lifted without gouging or cracking the walls. The algae film is hand-scrubbed with soft pads, we disinfect with a hygienic solution, and we reseat the lid and check the overflow so light and dust cannot feed new growth. Photos and a quality report follow the job.
No travel charge anywhere in Maidan Garhi. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“Do you clean Sintex tanks near IGNOU in Maidan Garhi?” Yes, the pockets along IGNOU Road and the village core are regular stops for us. We bring our own soft-wash pump, which matters where borewell pressure is uneven. A standard rooftop Sintex tank is done in around 60–90 minutes with photos afterward.
“My borewell fills the plastic tank and it goes green — why?” The hard borewell water leaves a mineral scale on the walls, and because the Sintex tank lets light through, algae grows over that scale and turns green. It is very common on Maidan Garhi rooftops. We scrub the film off with soft pads, disinfect, and reseat the lid so light cannot restart it.
“Will your pressure wash damage the plastic tank?” No. We use a soft jet at plastic-safe pressure and soft pads rather than wire brushes, so the walls are not gouged or cracked. Wire brushes leave scratches that algae clings to, which is exactly what we avoid. Your tank is cleaned gently and thoroughly.
“How much to clean a 1000L Sintex tank?” It starts from ₹699 for a standard Sintex or plastic overhead tank, and a 1000L unit is in that range. Because many homes here also have a large underground sump, we can quote both together for one visit. The price is fixed before we start.
“Can you also clean the underground sump on the Chattarpur side?” Yes. Many Maidan Garhi and Chattarpur-side homes run a big underground sump feeding the rooftop Sintex, and we clean both in one visit. We desilt and disinfect the sump the same day and bundle the price. Just tell us both tank sizes when you book.
