Shared-tank cleaning for the compact old buildings of Malka Ganj, where a small terrace tank or two serves several floors above the market lanes. One owner books, we clean the whole set in a single visit. Bulk pricing for the whole building.
Malka Ganj is a congested old North Delhi neighbourhood of narrow lanes and ageing havelis, with compact builder floors squeezed in near the university. The buildings here are small and shared, a few floors of tenants or one extended family drawing off one or two terrace tanks on intermittent DJB piped supply. Those cramped rooftops sit exposed to constant road dust and market grime, which drifts into the tanks through loose lids. Because the tanks are little and hard to reach, the owner seldom opens them. A fine layer of dust-laden sediment and scale settles in and lingers between rare cleanings. In these buildings it is usually one owner, not a committee, who finally books the clean for the whole place.
KaamGenie cleans the whole small building in one visit: the terrace tanks, and the sump or pump if there is one, arranged directly with the owner. We work around the intermittent fill so the floors are not left dry, scrub out the dust-laden sediment and scale, give an anti-bacterial and disinfectant wash, and hand over before-and-after photos with a dated record. For a single floor, see water tank cleaning in Malka Ganj. This page is about shared building tanks, the ones an owner books for the whole address.
Small and exposed is a bad combination. A little terrace tank has less water to dilute whatever falls in, and the market's constant road dust and diesel haze settle straight onto it through a loose lid. On intermittent supply the water sits still for long spells, giving the dust and scale time to bed down on the walls. With several floors drawing off that one tank, the load is real even though the vessel is small. Left unopened the sediment cakes the walls and the water turns cloudy and off-smelling, so a clean every three months keeps it usable.
The owner puts it off because the tank is a climb and out of sight, so nobody thinks of it until the water changes. We make it easy: one short survey checks the terrace tanks and any sump, and one visit clears them with a dated record for the file. On a small building with two or three tanks the whole-building rate still beats calling us tank by tank, and an annual plan means the water stays clear without the owner having to remember.
No travel charge anywhere in Malka Ganj. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“It's my building with a few tenant floors. Do I pay it all?” You book and pay as the owner, and many Malka Ganj owners then recover a share through the rent or split it with the floors. We give one dated invoice for the whole-building clean at the bulk rate, however you choose to divide it.
“We only have two terrace tanks. Is that worth a booking?” Yes. We clean small buildings all over Malka Ganj. Two or three tanks are quick to do in one visit, and the whole-building rate is still cheaper than calling us for each tank separately.
“Water only comes at certain hours. Will you cut us off?” No. We note your fill window and drain one tank at a time within it, so the floors keep water. Normal supply is confirmed before we leave.
“What does it cost?” Each shared tank of 2,000 to 3,000 litres is ₹1,500 to ₹2,000, and we quote the whole building together at 15 to 20 percent off the per-tank rate for one visit.
“Can I set up a yearly clean?” Yes. The annual AMC schedules cleans at 20 to 25 percent off the per-visit rate, which suits Malka Ganj's dust-heavy rooftops where sediment returns quickly. Photos and a dated record follow each visit.
