Society & RWA Tank Cleaning in Tara Apartments

Society & RWA tanks in Tara Apartments

Tara Apartments on the Alaknanda side is one of south Delhi’s earliest cooperative group housing societies — clustered brick towers arranged around courtyards, with shared underground sumps serving each cluster and large rooftop RCC tanks above. The RWA runs cleaning cycles, but the tanks themselves are the challenge: decades-old RCC with hairline cracks, rough internal surfaces that trap sediment, and heavy silt pockets in the corners where a casual clean never reaches.

KaamGenie’s approach here is built for old RCC: controlled-pressure washing that will not widen hairline cracks, hand-scrubbing of the rough walls and corner pockets, full sludge removal from the cluster sumps with confined-space safety, food-grade disinfection, and a written condition note flagging any crack or seepage that needs the society’s mason. Each cluster gets its own dated certificate for the RWA file. For flat-level tanks, see water tank cleaning in Tara Apartments. This page covers the society’s shared infrastructure.

Why Tara Apartments’ RCC tanks need careful, scheduled cleaning

Old RCC behaves nothing like a plastic Sintex. Its interior is porous and rough, so sediment bonds to the walls instead of resting loose on the floor; its corners hold silt pockets a pump-out never touches; and its hairline cracks mean aggressive high-pressure jetting can do real damage. Left long between cleans, the sediment in a Tara cluster tank consolidates into a layer that quietly degrades water for every flat the cluster feeds.

Done right — controlled pressure, hand scrubbing, corner-by-corner work — the same tanks come back to genuinely clean condition, and the visit doubles as a health check: our condition note tells the RWA which tanks show active seepage or crack growth before it becomes a repair emergency. Cluster-by-cluster scheduling keeps supply live across the society, cluster bookings carry bulk pricing, and aligning our four-visit AMC with the RWA’s existing cycle makes the whole programme run itself.

How we do it — our 8-step process

• 1. Site survey & schedule We count the tanks, check access and the water-supply timing, and agree a slot that doesn’t cut off the building.
• 2. Isolate & drain Each tank is isolated and drained in turn so supply to flats is disrupted as little as possible.
• 3. Sludge & sediment removal Settled sludge is scooped and wet-vacuumed from every overhead and underground tank.
• 4. High-pressure jet wash Walls, floor and ceiling of each tank are jet-washed to remove scale and biofilm.
• 5. Manual scrub Corners, joints and inlet/outlet mouths are hand-scrubbed across all tanks.
• 6. Anti-bacterial treatment A food-grade disinfectant wash sanitises every tank before refill.
• 7. Refill & supply check Tanks are refilled and we confirm supply to the flats is back to normal.
• 8. Photos & RWA certificate Before/after photos of each tank and a dated certificate for the society’s maintenance file.

Common questions from Tara Apartments customers

“Is high-pressure cleaning safe for our old RCC tanks?” Uncontrolled jetting is not, which is why we do not use it here. On Tara’s RCC we run controlled-pressure washing plus hand scrubbing — enough to strip the bonded sediment without stressing hairline cracks. Any crack or seepage we find goes into a written condition note so the society’s mason can repair it early.

“Do you clean the cluster sumps as well as the roof tanks?” Yes, as one chain per cluster: the underground sump with full confined-space safety, the transfer pumps, and the rooftop RCC tank above. The sump holds the cluster’s heaviest silt, so cleaning only the roof tank while the sump feeds it dirty water wastes the society’s money.

“How is a cluster priced?” Shared tanks start at ₹1,500, with the large RCC units at ₹1,500 to ₹2,000 each given the hand-scrubbing time, and sumps quoted by size. A full-cluster booking — sump plus roof tank together — carries 15 to 20 percent off, and a society-wide programme across all clusters is quoted as one job with RWA pricing.

“Can this align with our RWA’s existing cleaning cycle?” Yes, that is the ideal setup. We map our four-visit annual AMC onto the RWA’s calendar, clean cluster by cluster so no block loses supply, and refresh the per-cluster certificates each round. The AMC runs 20 to 25 percent under per-visit rates and gives the committee a standing record for the society file.

“Can you attend the same day if a cluster’s water goes bad?” Usually yes — call before 10 AM and we can typically reach the Alaknanda side the same day. A sudden change in one cluster’s water often traces to a sump issue or a fresh silt stir-up, and a same-day clean plus disinfection settles it before the whole cluster is affected.
