Overhead vs Underground Tank Cleaning

Society-style tank cleaning for Johri Farm’s private apartment blocks — underground sump, pumps and the full rooftop tank bank done in one coordinated visit through the building’s maintenance committee. From ₹1,500 per tank.
Johri Farm is the Okhla belt’s closest thing to society living: old farm plots rebuilt into 5-6 storey private apartment buildings with stilt parking, an underground sump below and a bank of rooftop tanks above. That sump-to-roof design on borewell water means double sediment — silt settling in the sump that takes the first fill, and hard-water scale coating the roof tanks the pump lifts it to. Most buildings here already run a maintenance committee collecting monthly charges; the tanks belong on that ledger.
KaamGenie does the whole chain the way a society contractor should: sump entry with confined-space safety, silt scooped and walls jetted, pumps checked, then every rooftop tank in the bank drained, descaled and disinfected food-grade — one coordinated visit, scheduled with the committee so flats keep supply throughout. Rooftop tanks are ₹1,500 each with the bank discounted as a set; the sump is quoted by capacity at survey. For flat-level jobs, see water tank cleaning in Johri Farm. This page is for whole-building committee bookings.
The sump takes the borewell’s first delivery, so sand and silt settle there in a bed that deepens invisibly under the stilt floor. Every pumping cycle then lifts water off that bed — stirring it — and carries fines up to the rooftop tanks, where the hard water adds its own scale on top. Clean only the roof tanks and the sump reseeds them within weeks; clean only the sump and the scaled roof tanks keep shedding into every flat’s taps.
A committee that already collects for the lift and the pump can fix this with one line item: a full-chain clean every four to six months at the multi-tank rate, entered in the accounts, certificate filed with the receipts. The buildings that run this cycle in Johri Farm report the difference residents actually notice — clearer water, fewer RO membrane changes, pumps lasting longer because they are not chewing grit. We handle the notice to residents and the tank-by-tank sequencing so no floor goes dry.
No travel charge anywhere in Johri Farm. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

We reach every pocket of Johri Farm — and there’s no travel charge to any of them:
“What does a full building clean cost — sump plus six roof tanks?” The six rooftop tanks are ₹1,500 each with a bank discount for the set, and the sump is quoted by capacity after the survey — most Johri Farm sumps land between ₹2,500 and ₹5,000. The committee gets one consolidated quote, one visit, and a certificate per tank plus the sump.
“How do you enter the sump safely under the stilt floor?” With full confined-space procedure: we ventilate the sump, test the air before anyone enters, and keep a rope-line attendant at the mouth throughout. The crew scoops the silt bed, jets the walls and floor, disinfects, and photographs the before-and-after — committees are usually startled by the first before photo.
“Will flats lose water while you clean?” No flat goes dry. We sequence the job — sump first while the roof tanks carry the building, then roof tanks one at a time off the refilled sump — and confirm supply floor by floor before leaving. The full chain on a 5-6 storey building takes most of a day.
“Can the committee put this on a fixed cycle with the monthly charges?” Yes, that is the arrangement most Johri Farm committees settle into: two or three visits a year at a committed rate, invoiced to the building account, certificates filed with the monthly statements. We send the reminder and the resident notice each cycle; the committee just confirms the date.
“One flat’s water is cloudy but the committee meets next month. What now?” Call before 10 AM and we can usually do a same-day check and clean of the affected roof tank — an individual owner or the caretaker can authorise that at the standard rate. We bring the findings to the committee with photos, which typically gets the full-chain clean onto next month’s agenda.
