We clean shared overhead tanks, underground sumps and individual flat tanks across Dwarka Sector 20's CGHS societies, DDA flats and builder floors, same day where possible. Starting ₹699.
Sector 20 rounds out this stretch of Dwarka with a balanced mix of CGHS group-housing societies, DDA flats and builder floors, and a character shaped by being toward the sector's outer edge where DJB pressure can be a little weaker. To cope, many societies here have oversized their underground sumps so they can store more during good-pressure hours and pump up as needed — which means the sump carries even more of the storage and sediment load than usual. The overhead tanks are standard 5,000-8,000L, but the sumps are the real workhorses and the part most in need of attention. DDA flats and builder floors have their own terrace tanks that get the routine individual treatment.
Because the sumps here are oversized and central to supply, we always open and inspect the sump on a society visit even if the RWA only asked for the overhead tank. We schedule around the better-pressure morning window so the block refills cleanly straight after.
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.
Sector 20 societies on the outer edge tend to run oversized underground sumps to buffer against weaker DJB pressure, and because that sump stores more water it also collects more settled sediment than a standard one. We recommend and quote the combined job here almost every time: pump and scrub the large sump first, then drain and clean the 5,000-8,000L overhead tank, so the block refills from clean storage. A combined overhead-plus-sump clean runs ₹4,500-6,000, and given how big these sumps are it sits toward the upper end; the overhead tank alone is ₹2,500-3,000. Across the block the per-flat share is about ₹130-180, and RWAs here generally accept the combo once they see the sump's condition.
The DDA flats and builder floors in Sector 20 have their own terrace tanks and book directly rather than through an RWA, most often for a routine clean or a move-in. A single individual flat or builder-floor tank is ₹699-1,499 depending on size and how much sediment has built up. Because pressure on the outer lanes is patchy, some of these homes keep a small ground drum as backup too, and we clean the drum and terrace tank together in one visit for better value than two separate call-outs. Move-in cleans can almost always be arranged same day once you tell us the tank size and floor.
“Why do Sector 20 societies need the sump cleaned every time?” Outer-edge blocks run oversized sumps to buffer weaker DJB pressure, so they store and settle more sediment. We open and inspect the sump on every society visit; the combo clean is ₹4,500-6,000.
“I keep a backup ground drum — can you do it with my tank?” Yes. Where a home keeps a backup drum for patchy pressure we clean it with the terrace tank in one visit, which is better value than two call-outs and stays around ₹699-1,499 for a standard setup.
“Can I get a same-day move-in clean in Sector 20?” Almost always. Tell us the tank size and floor and we can drain, scrub and sanitise before you move in, at ₹699-1,499.
