Sintex and plastic tanks store the hard borewell water across Tughlakabad, and they scale and grow algae fast. KaamGenie cleans them with a plastic-safe soft wash and anti-bacterial disinfection. From ₹699.
Tughlakabad is a large belt near the historic fort spanning Tughlakabad village and the densely built Tughlakabad Extension toward Govindpuri and Badarpur. DJB pipeline coverage is uneven, so many blocks rely on borewells and tankers, producing hard, high-TDS water. Rooftop Sintex and plastic overhead tanks with underground sumps are standard, and because the plastic walls let light through, algae and biofilm establish faster than in a concrete tank.
The mixed supply plus mineral-heavy groundwater cause fast scaling and sediment buildup, and once light warms the stored water a slimy film forms over it. A plastic-safe clean clears both, and it pairs with our full water tank cleaning in Tughlakabad so the sump and rooftop Sintex are both handled.
The borewell water here is hard and high in TDS, so it lays down a chalky scale inside every tank. A Sintex tank is translucent, so sunlight passes through and grows algae over that scale, forming a slimy green film. In the dense Extension, tanks are refilled constantly and rarely empty fully, so the biofilm keeps building between cleanings.
We drain the tank, scoop out the sediment, then soft jet-wash at plastic-safe pressure so the scale lifts without gouging or cracking the walls. The algae 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.
No travel charge anywhere in Tughlakabad. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“Do you clean Sintex tanks in Tughlakabad Extension?” Yes, Tughlakabad Extension and the village lanes are both regular stops for us. Dense buildings there often have several tanks, and we can clean a whole bank in one visit. Each tank gets photos and a shared quality report.
“My plastic tank water is green and leaves black particles. What are they?” The green is algae growing in the light-permeable Sintex tank, and the black particles are settled sediment and broken-off biofilm mixed with scale from the hard borewell water. Both are common in Tughlakabad. We scoop and wash them out with soft pads and disinfect so the water runs clear again.
“Will your jet wash crack the Sintex tank?” No. We use a soft jet at plastic-safe pressure and soft pads instead of wire brushes, so the tank is not gouged or cracked. Wire brushes scratch plastic and give algae more grip, so we avoid them. Your tank is cleaned thoroughly and left intact.
“How much for a 1000L Sintex tank in Tughlakabad?” It starts from ₹699 for a standard Sintex or plastic tank, and a 1000L unit falls in that range. If you want the underground sump cleaned in the same visit we quote both together. The price is fixed before we begin, with nothing hidden.
“Can you come same day near the Govindpuri border?” Usually yes, subject to slots. We serve the Govindpuri and Tehkhand side of Tughlakabad daily, so same-day or next-morning visits are normally possible. Send your block and tank size and we will confirm a window.
