Bungalow in A Block, builder floor in C Block, restaurant near the flyover — we clean every kind of tank in Defence Colony. Crew arrives in around 90 minutes. Starting ₹600.
Defence Colony has mostly older bungalows that were divided into builder floors over the years. The tanks on the rooftops are often shared between 3-4 floors, which means somebody will say it’s somebody else’s problem and the tank doesn’t get cleaned for years. By the time we open it, there’s usually a couple of inches of black sediment at the bottom.
The market area — near the Defence Colony flyover and the inner lanes — has a lot of restaurants and cafes that need food-grade tank cleaning with proper certificate. We provide that paperwork for FSSAI inspections.
If your tank is shared with the family above or below, we just need one person to coordinate access to the rooftop. We’ll do the full cleaning in 90 minutes and everyone’s water gets clean at the same time. Saves money for everyone too.
A specific issue we see across Defence Colony: bungalows from the 60s and 70s that have been converted into 3-4 floor builder buildings, but the water tank infrastructure is still the original 70s design. That means a single rooftop tank originally meant for one family of 4 is now serving 12-16 people across 4 flats. The tank gets emptied and refilled multiple times a day, which means more sediment cycling through.
For these buildings we recommend cleaning every 4 months instead of 6. The cost per visit is the same, but the tank stays in working condition longer. AMC pricing makes this affordable — ₹4,500-5,500 for 3 visits a year, split between the 4 flats works out to about ₹1,400 per flat per year. Less than what most people spend on bottled drinking water in a month.
The restaurants and cafés in Defence Colony Market run a full FSSAI compliance schedule, and water tank cleaning records are part of the inspection list. Our standard for these:
For new restaurants opening in Defence Colony, we recommend the first cleaning happen 2-3 days before your FSSAI license inspection so the certificate is freshly dated.
"Our building is a typical 4-flat conversion — does the tank really need cleaning that often?" Yes. A tank serving 16 people cycles through water 4x faster than a tank serving 4 people. Same volume of sediment enters per litre of water that flows through, but the absolute volume is much higher. 4-month cleaning is realistic.
"My ground-floor neighbour doesn’t want to pay his share, can I just clean my own pipes?" Pipe cleaning won’t help — the source contamination is in the shared tank. Either get RWA-style alignment among the 4 flats (cheapest) or as a last resort, install your own dedicated tank for your floor (₹6,000-10,000 plus installation).
"What documentation do you provide for income-tax claim if we treat tank cleaning as housing maintenance?" Our service certificate, GST-compliant invoice with PAN/GSTIN if you provide them, and dated receipts. CA can usually claim this under maintenance expenses for rented property.
