Tank and drum-chain cleaning for Chand Nagar — the shared-motor colonies toward Raghubir Nagar where DJB morning water passes through a drum before it reaches the roof tank, both stages cleaned in one visit per home. From ₹1,500 per tank.
Chand Nagar is a working-class colony on the Khyala side toward Raghubir Nagar — JJ-resettlement rows, small plotted homes and lanes threaded with garment piece-work. Water arrives on DJB morning timing at low pressure, so the colony has evolved a two-stage system: shared motors pump the morning supply from ground drums up to small roof tanks. Every transfer adds a sediment stage, and the drum — the stage most households never think of as storage — is the one that never gets cleaned.
KaamGenie cleans the Chand Nagar chain whole: drum scrubbed and rinsed, the shared motor’s line flushed, then the roof tank drained, de-sludged, jetted and disinfected — one visit, one bill, both stages. Homes on a shared motor often book together since their drums fill from the same line and their lanes suit a moving round; the pool discount applies across every vessel on the round. Photos and a dated certificate per home. For single-tank bookings, see water tank cleaning in Chand Nagar.
Each stage of storage collects its own sediment. The drum takes the raw morning supply with whatever the low-pressure mains push through, and its wide mouth collects lane dust all day; the pump then lifts from the drum’s lower half — the silty half — and delivers it to the roof tank, which builds its own layer on top of what arrives pre-loaded. Clean only the tank and the drum reseeds it within weeks; clean only the drum and the tank’s old load keeps flavouring every draw.
Doing both stages in one visit costs far less than two separate calls and is the only version that holds: ₹1,500 for the roof tank, drums quoted down by size in the same visit, and the shared-motor group discount when neighbouring homes on one line book the same day. For families doing garment piece-work at home — where wash water quality touches the work itself — the certificate is a practical document, not a formality. The chain re-silts on a four-to-five-month cycle, and the repeat round takes half the first visit’s time.
No travel charge anywhere in Chand Nagar. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

Every locality in Delhi stores different water, and that decides how fast a tank fouls. This is Chand Nagar’s profile from The Delhi Water Index, built from our field observations across 250+ localities.

“Can the homes on one shared motor book as a group?” Yes, and it is the natural unit here — your drums fill from the same line, so cleaning them the same day means the shared motor moves clean water for everyone at once. The group discount applies across all the homes’ drums and tanks on the round, and each home gets its own certificate.
“Is the drum really worth cleaning — it is just a drum?” It is the dirtiest stage of your water’s journey: raw morning supply, lane dust through the open mouth, and the pump drawing from its silty bottom half. Households that clean only the roof tank see it re-foul in weeks and blame the supply. Clean the drum too and the tank stays clean for months.
“What does the full chain cost for one home?” The roof tank is ₹1,500 and the drum is quoted down by size in the same visit — a standard drum adds a few hundred rupees, not another tank rate. Booked as part of a shared-motor group round, the discount brings the per-home total down further.
“Our lanes are narrow and the roof is low — any access issues?” None that are new to us — Chand Nagar’s lanes and low roofs are standard working conditions for the crew. The van parks at the nearest wide point and gear is carried in. Low roofs actually speed the job; most single-home chains finish inside ninety minutes.
“How soon can you come if our water smells or shows silt?” Book before 10 AM and same-day is usually possible via the Khyala-Raghubir Nagar side of our route. For a smell, ask us to check the drum first — standing water in a warm drum is the usual source, and the chain clean resolves it the same visit.
