Home › Water Tank Cleaning › North Delhi › Chawri Bazar
Across the brass and paper lanes from Hauz Qazi Chowk to the Jama Masjid back wall, we clean overhead and underground tanks from ₹699, same-day where possible.
Chawri Bazar is wholesale hardware, brass, copper and wedding-card lanes, with shops crammed at street level and families living on the floors above. The buildings here are tall and old, often three or four storeys, with the water tank tucked on a flat terrace at the very top. Because the ground floor is all shop and godown, the only tank access is usually through a steep shared stairwell. Many buildings also keep an underground tank near the entrance because of low daytime pressure.
We cover the lanes towards Hauz Qazi, the brassware galis, the paper market stretch and the buildings backing onto Jama Masjid, and the crew usually reaches within 90 minutes of a confirmed booking.
For a standard 1000-litre overhead tank, the whole job takes about 90 minutes from when we ring your doorbell to when we’re packing up. Underground sumps take a bit longer — usually 2 to 2.5 hours depending on how much sludge has built up.
You don’t need to provide anything. We bring our own water for the rinse, our own electricity backup if needed, vacuums, jet pumps, food-grade disinfectant, gloves, the works. We’ll show you photos of the tank before and after on WhatsApp once we’re done.
A family living above a paper wholesaler near Hauz Qazi needed their 1,200-litre overhead tank cleaned after the water started smelling. We hauled the gear up four floors, emptied the tank, removed the silt and biofilm and disinfected it with food-grade solution. A tank in the 1,001 to 2,000-litre range is ₹1,299 to ₹1,499.
With supply pressure low through the trading hours, a lot of Chawri Bazar buildings store water in an underground tank and pump it up. These collect sediment fast. Cleaning and disinfecting an underground sump runs ₹1,500 to ₹2,500, and we send before and after photos on WhatsApp so the owner downstairs can see the work without climbing up.
"You work in the busy market hours?" Yes, but if the lane is too packed during peak trading we will suggest an early-morning slot when the shutters are still down and access is easier.
"The tank is on the fourth floor, is there an extra charge?" No height surcharge for normal residential floors. The price depends on tank size and type, and we tell you before we begin.
"Can you clean both the underground and the rooftop tank?" Yes, we do combos often in these buildings. We quote the two together once we have seen both, usually cheaper than booking them separately.
