We clean society overhead tanks, underground sumps and individual flat tanks across Dwarka Sector 13's group-housing blocks and DDA pockets, same day where possible. Starting ₹699.
Sector 13 is largely a residential pocket of CGHS group-housing societies interspersed with DDA flat rows and a scattering of builder floors on the plotted lanes. Most societies here run a paired system — a 5,000-8,000L overhead tank on each block fed from a large underground sump — because DJB pressure into this sector drops in the afternoon and the sump acts as a buffer. That means the sump does most of the storage work and collects the bulk of the sediment, while the overhead tank holds the visible scale. Residents often only think about the overhead tank and forget the sump, so when we open the underground chamber we regularly find a thick settled layer nobody has touched in a couple of years.
We push combo overhead-plus-sump bookings in Sector 13 for exactly that reason, and schedule the sump work first so the block can refill from a clean sump straight after. RWAs here tend to book block by block over a week rather than all at once.
For a standard 1000-litre overhead tank, the whole job takes about 90 minutes from doorbell to pack-up. Underground sumps take longer — usually 2 to 2.5 hours depending on sludge. You don’t need to provide anything: we bring our own water for the rinse, vacuums, jet pumps, food-grade disinfectant and gloves, and send before/after photos on WhatsApp.
Because Sector 13 societies lean on their underground sumps to ride out the afternoon pressure drop, the sump is where most of the sediment ends up, and cleaning the overhead tank alone leaves the real problem untouched. Our recommended job here is the combo: we pump out and scrub the sump first, then drain and clean the overhead tank, so the block refills from clean storage right through. A combined overhead-plus-sump clean for a Sector 13 block runs ₹4,500-6,000 depending on sump size, versus ₹2,500-3,000 for the overhead tank on its own. Given how much the sump holds, most RWAs decide the combo is worth it once they have seen what comes out of the underground chamber.
The plotted lanes in Sector 13 have independent builder floors where each floor often has its own overhead tank rather than sharing one, so cleaning is a per-floor job. These tanks are smaller, usually 500-1,000L, and we can do a full floor of them in a single visit. A single builder-floor tank is ₹699-1,499, and if three or four floors of the same building book together we do them back to back and keep it toward the lower end of that band. This is also the most common move-in request in the sector — a new owner or tenant wants the tank drained and sanitised before they start using it, which we can usually arrange same day.
“Should I clean the sump as well as the overhead tank?” In Sector 13, yes — the sump does most of the storage during the afternoon pressure drop and holds the most sediment. The combo runs ₹4,500-6,000 versus ₹2,500-3,000 for the overhead alone.
“Can you clean each builder floor's tank separately?” Yes. Each floor's tank is ₹699-1,499, and if several floors of one building book together we do them back to back at the lower end.
“How much notice do you need for a move-in clean?” Usually none beyond same day. Tell us the tank size and we can drain, scrub and sanitise it before you move your things in.
