In Seemapuri's DDA resettlement blocks on the UP border, much of the water arrives by tanker and then sits in rooftop plastic tanks between deliveries. Water standing still under a translucent wall is prime algae territory, and KaamGenie clears it from ₹699.
Seemapuri is a dense resettlement colony right on the Delhi-UP edge, blocks of DDA EWS housing and self-built floors packed onto tight lanes. DJB reaches only patchily, so supply leans heavily on borewell and tanker, and the water is hard and silt-prone. Households store it in small rooftop plastic tanks, and because deliveries are irregular, the water often sits for a while before it is used. Stagnant water is exactly what a translucent tank should not hold, since light and stillness together let algae take hold. Add the silt from tanker and borewell, and the base fills with sediment between cleans.
Our crew empties the tank, wet-vacuums the settled silt, jet-washes at a plastic-safe pressure and hand-scrubs the algae with soft pads, then finishes with a anti-bacterial disinfectant wash and photos. In shared blocks the photo record reassures every family drawing on the tank. If the block also runs a sump, our full water tank cleaning in Seemapuri covers it too. Here we handle Sintex and plastic tanks specifically.
When water comes by tanker rather than a steady pipe, it is stored longer and used slower, so it sits in the tank for extended stretches. Still water under a translucent plastic wall, warmed by rooftop sun, is the ideal setting for algae to multiply. The gaps between deliveries mean the same water can stand for days before it is topped up.
Tanker and borewell supply both carry silt, which settles into a thick base layer that a rinse never removes. Hard water also scales the outlet, giving the algae a rough grip. With low turnover and many users on one tank, the sediment is stirred back into the water at every draw, so only a full drain and scrub genuinely clears it.
No travel charge anywhere in Seemapuri. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“We get water by tanker and it sits a few days, does that cause the green film?” Yes, standing water under a translucent plastic wall lets algae grow, especially in warm weather. A clean tank and a well-sealed lid slow it, but stored water still needs regular cleaning.
“The tanker water is silty, what happens inside the tank?” The silt settles as a base layer that a rinse cannot lift. We wet-vacuum and scrub it out fully so it stops clouding the water you draw.
“How often should a plastic tank on tanker supply be cleaned?” Every three months is sensible where water stands between deliveries. The longer water sits, the more important a regular clean becomes.
“Can any resident in a shared block book the clean?” Yes, call 95603 66362 and we handle it, with photos so every family on the tank can see the result. Shared resettlement blocks are common work for us here.
“What is the cost for a small rooftop plastic tank?” From ₹699 for up to 500 litres, with a per-tank bulk rate for buildings that have more than one.
