Geetanjali Enclave — wide plots, mature trees and three-storey family homes beside Malviya Nagar, most with float-automated sump-and-tank systems that run themselves until the water smells. We scrub out the algae and silt and reset the system. Tanks from ₹699.
Geetanjali Enclave is one of the most settled colonies on this side of Aurobindo Marg — families who built here decades ago, homes extended floor by floor for children, and water systems automated with float valves so well that nobody has needed to touch them in years. That is exactly the failure mode: sun-exposed rooftop tanks grow green algae on their south-facing walls, sumps collect a soft silt bed, and the first anyone notices is a musty smell in the shower.
The tree cover that makes the colony beautiful also drops leaves, pollen and bird droppings onto terraces; any tank lid left loose after a plumber’s visit lets that straight in. Our clean here almost always turns up organic debris that has been steeping for a season or more.
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.
Plastic tanks on open Geetanjali Enclave terraces take full sun most of the day, and sunlight through the tank wall is what feeds algae — the green film we scrub off these tanks is the thickest we see anywhere in the Malviya Nagar belt. We drain the tank, scrub every wall back to clean plastic, jet-wash, and finish with food-grade disinfection at ₹699 up to 500L or ₹899 for 501–1,000L. If sun exposure is severe we will suggest a simple fix — an opaque cover or repositioning — so the regrowth clock slows down.
Because DJB supply to this pocket is decent and float automation keeps everything topped up, Geetanjali Enclave sumps can run ten years without anyone lifting the cover. Underneath, a silt bed builds from every supply cycle, and in the older homes the original masonry sumps also shed fine plaster grit. Our sump service at ₹1,499 pumps the tank dry, removes the sludge manually, scrubs and disinfects the walls and floor, and checks the inlet and pump foot valve. Done together with the roof tanks, it puts the whole house back on genuinely clean storage.
“Our tank keeps growing algae back within months. What do you do differently?” We physically scrub the walls to bare plastic rather than just rinsing, then disinfect — residual film is what makes algae return fast. We will also point out whether sun exposure through the tank wall is the driver, which in Geetanjali Enclave it usually is, and suggest shading.
“Can you clean the sump without leaving the house dry all day?” Yes. We sequence it — roof tanks keep the taps running while the sump is cleaned, then the sump refills and we do the tanks. A full sump-plus-tanks visit in a Geetanjali Enclave home takes around three hours with water available almost throughout.
“Do you offer an annual arrangement for homes here?” Yes. Most Geetanjali Enclave families take a scheduled yearly clean of sump and tanks — we send a reminder when it falls due, the same crew returns, and the pricing stays the standard ₹699 per tank and ₹1,499 sump with no surcharge.
