How to Pick the Best Tank Cleaning Service

Behind the Phase 1 spine, almost every home in Phase 2 sits inside a cooperative block where water climbs from an underground sump into a rooftop plastic tank, and by the time it gets there the warmth has already started an algal film. KaamGenie scrubs those Sintex overheads clean and photographs the result, from ₹699.
Packed with cooperative group-housing and DDA flats, Phase 2 is one of the most society-driven pockets in the whole Trans-Yamuna belt. Each block pumps water up from a common sump into per-block rooftop overhead tanks, so the Sintex store on the roof is only the last leg of a two-stage journey. Dozens of flats draw from the same plastic tank, which means it is refilled constantly and hardly ever empties enough for anyone to inspect. Whatever settles in the sump is lifted straight into that overhead, so the plastic tank inherits grit it did not make.
We empty the rooftop tank, lift the pumped-up sediment off its floor by wet-vacuum, hand-scrub the algal film from the plastic with soft pads and close with a anti-bacterial disinfectant wash and dated photographs. Because the sump feeds the same water up, many blocks book both together under our broader water tank cleaning in Mayur Vihar Phase 2. Here, though, the focus is the plastic and Sintex overhead that sits at the end of that line.
A rooftop plastic tank at the top of a society block takes the full day's sun with nothing to shade it. Light travels through the translucent wall and warms the water that has just been pumped up, and warm standing water in a bright tank is exactly the condition algae need. Because the tank is fed from below on a loop, that warmed water keeps circulating rather than clearing.
The extra problem in Phase 2 is what rides up from the sump: fine silt and settled matter that would otherwise stay at the bottom of the ground reservoir. Once it reaches the plastic overhead it coats the base and feeds the biofilm on the walls, so cleaning only the sump leaves the rooftop tank still dirty. Both need doing, but the overhead is where the water sits longest before a tap, which is why it earns its own scrub.
No travel charge anywhere in Mayur Vihar Phase 2. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“Our block pumps from a sump into the roof tank, do both really need cleaning?” Yes, and ideally together. Sediment that settles in the sump gets lifted into the plastic overhead every time the pump runs, so a clean sump feeding a dirty rooftop tank still gives you cloudy water. Doing both on the same visit means the whole line from ground to tap is clear.
“How much for the rooftop plastic tank alone in a Phase 2 society?” A single rooftop Sintex starts at ₹699 for capacities up to 500 litres, with a modest step up for 1000L. If the block wants the sump done on the same visit we quote the two together at a combined rate that works out cheaper than separate calls.
“How soon can a crew reach our block?” In a dense society pocket like this we can usually route a team the same day or the next, depending on your supply timing. Call in the morning and we will try to fit the roof tank in before the block's evening fill.
“Does pressure washing risk splitting an older plastic overhead?” No. We set the jet low for plastic and lift scale with soft pads rather than force, so an ageing wall is cleaned without being gouged or cracked. Wire brushes leave scratches that algae settle into, so we never use them on a Sintex tank.
“How many flats can one society tank clean cover?” A standard per-block overhead usually serves a full stack of flats, and one clean covers the whole tank whatever the flat count. For blocks with several tanks across the roof we scrub each in turn on one visit and photograph them all for the committee.
