Beside its old railway junction, Sarai Rohilla’s ageing houses keep little Sintex tanks that foul in the railway dust and rust. KaamGenie cleans them gently, hygienically and with photos. From ₹699.
Sarai Rohilla grew up around its railway junction, an old, tightly packed North Delhi neighbourhood where ageing houses, small workshops and compact builder floors line congested lanes. That railway heritage shapes the water story: the rooftops carry small Sintex and plastic tanks on intermittent DJB piped supply, sitting amid the dust of a busy goods area and the grime that a working junction throws off. Between the set supply hours the water stands in these little tanks, and a translucent plastic wall lets the daylight in to warm it, so an algae film grows. The buildings are old, so their plumbing sheds rust and grit into the tanks with each fill, laying a sediment the film can grip. Because the tanks are small, cramped and forgotten, owners rarely open them. Rust, railway dust and green film settle steadily inside, and regular cleaning is the only way to keep the water clear here.
Our plastic-safe method suits these small older tanks: we check the tank and lid, drain the standing water, scoop the rusty dust-laden sediment off the bottom, wet-vacuum the rest, jet-wash at a pressure that spares ageing plastic and scrub the film with soft pads, then an anti-bacterial disinfectant wash and photos before and after. Where a Sarai Rohilla building also has a sump or a larger tank, our full water tank cleaning in Sarai Rohilla covers it. This page focuses on Sintex and plastic tanks.
The junction sets the scene. A busy goods area throws off dust and grime, and it settles into the small terrace tanks through lids left loose on cramped old roofs. That railway dust laces the water with grit and gives any algae a rough footing, a heavier dust load than a quiet residential lane, because the junction and its traffic never rest. It is the first of two things fouling these tanks.
The second is the pairing of ageing plumbing and plastic. Decades-old pipes shed rust into the tanks with each intermittent fill, laying a sediment, while the translucent Sintex wall lets daylight in to warm the standing water and grow a green film on top. Because the tanks are small, cramped and forgotten, nobody disturbs that build-up between fills. Rust, dust and film accumulate together until the water shows it, so a regular clean is what keeps a Sarai Rohilla tank clear.
No travel charge anywhere in Sarai Rohilla. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“The water sometimes has a rusty tint, will cleaning the tank help?” It clears what has settled in the tank, which is often most of the tint. The old pipes here carry rust into the tank where it sinks and mixes with the dust and film. We scoop and jet-wash that layer out, so the standing water stops adding to the rusty look even where the pipes themselves stay old.
“So much railway dust settles here, will the tank just foul again?” Some dust drifts in over time, but sealing the lid properly when we leave keeps most of it out. The bulk of what fouls the tank is the settled sediment and film we remove, and a cleaned, covered tank stays clear far longer between visits despite sitting near the junction.
“Our tank is small and awkward on an old roof, is that fine?” Yes, small tanks on cramped old roofs are typical in Sarai Rohilla and our crew works them regularly. The plastic-safe method needs only room to open, drain and reach inside. A small Sintex up to 500 litres is our lowest tier at ₹699, so an awkward little tank is straightforward to clean.
“How often should a tank near the junction be cleaned?” Because the dust and rust load is heavy here, twice a year at least, and more if the water tints or smells sooner. The first clean after a long gap usually lifts a lot of rusty, dust-laden sediment, after which a regular schedule keeps the small tank clear.
“Do you work around our fixed supply hours?” Yes. We plan the drain and refill around your DJB timing so the tank is not left empty when you need water. Tell us your supply hours when you book and we slot the clean so the small tank is refilled and ready by the time the next supply comes through.
