Same-Day Water Tank Cleaning in Delhi

By the Shahdara junction and its railway line, the roofs carry some of the oldest plastic tanks in Trans-Yamuna, many with faded, cracked lids that let in extra light and grit. That ageing is exactly what turns a Sintex green, and KaamGenie brings it back to hygienic from ₹699.
Shahdara is one of Delhi's oldest towns east of the river, a dense weave of decades-old houses, markets and floors rebuilt over the original plots around the junction. Water comes from DJB with widespread borewell backup, and much of the stored supply sits in rooftop and plastic tanks that were fitted long ago. Age tells on these tanks: sun-brittled lids no longer seal, and the translucent walls have thinned and clouded. The result is more light reaching the water and more airborne dust from the busy market and rail corridor drifting in. Many of these tanks have gone years without opening.
Our crew drains the tank, clears the long-settled sediment by wet-vacuum, then soft jet-washes and hand-scrubs the walls before a anti-bacterial disinfectant wash, and we flag any lid or fitting that has perished. Dated before and after photos come with every job. If a household also needs the sump or a concrete overhead tank serviced, our full water tank cleaning in Shahdara covers it. Here we deal specifically with Sintex and plastic tanks.
A tank that has weathered many Delhi summers loses the tight lid seal and the wall opacity it started with. On Shahdara's old roofs, cracked lids let in both daylight and the fine grit thrown up by the junction and railway. More light means more algae, and more grit means more for that algae to cling to.
Inside these long-unopened tanks, sediment has built into a deep base layer that stirs into the water whenever the pump runs hard in the morning. Perished lids also let insects and leaves in, adding to the load. Because the fabric here is so old and dense, these are among the tanks most overdue a thorough clean, and the improvement after one is usually obvious.
No travel charge anywhere in Shahdara. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“Our plastic tank and its lid look old and cracked, what do you advise?” We clean it fully and tell you honestly if the lid or tank has perished past safe use. A broken lid lets in light, dust and insects, so replacing it is often the single best fix after a clean.
“Does the railway and market dust really reach a closed tank?” Fine grit gets in through loose or cracked lids, which are common on older Shahdara tanks. Sealing the tank and cleaning it together keeps that dust out of your water.
“The tank has not been opened in years, is that a problem?” It usually means a deep sediment layer at the base, which we remove by wet-vacuum and scrub. These older, long-closed tanks show the biggest improvement after a proper clean.
“What will it cost for a typical old rooftop Sintex?” From ₹699 for up to 500 litres and ₹899 for a standard 1000L. If the lid needs replacing we tell you the part cost separately, with no pressure.
“Can you come at a time that suits our supply timing?” Yes, tell us your DJB or borewell hours when you call 95603 66362 and we schedule the clean so the tank is not empty when you need water.
