Gharoli — DDA flat blocks and the Dairy Farm colony next to Mayur Vihar Phase 3, with common terrace tanks and sumps. Shared tanks hide years of sediment; we clean them properly. Starting ₹699.
Gharoli is dominated by planned DDA housing — long rows of MIG and LIG blocks near Mayur Vihar Phase 3, plus the Gharoli Dairy Farm colony and the older village core. Unlike the individual builder floors elsewhere in East Delhi, most families here draw from common overhead tanks that feed a whole stack of flats through the RWA. Delhi Jal Board supply is fairly regular, but with dozens of homes sharing one terrace tank the water sits and turns over slowly, so the sediment and biofilm we find inside build up quietly over years.
The catch with shared tanks is ownership — because no single family is responsible, cleaning gets deferred until the water starts smelling or running cloudy. By then the base carries a thick sludge layer and the walls a slippery biofilm. Alongside the common terrace tanks, many blocks keep large underground storage sumps that are opened even less often. Both need a full drain, scrub and disinfection on a fixed schedule — twice a year is the sensible cycle for a DDA block this size.
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.
Most of Gharoli’s water sits in common overhead tanks on DDA MIG and LIG terraces, managed by the block RWA. One tank can feed twenty or more flats, so when it is neglected the whole block drinks the same sediment. We work directly with the RWA or block secretary, drain the shared tank, vacuum the sludge, jet-wash, disinfect with drinking-water-grade chlorine and share photos for the society record. RWA and society tanks are quoted per visit, with a worthwhile discount on an annual contract.
Around the Gharoli Dairy Farm colony and the village core, several buildings run large underground sumps to store the DJB supply, and ground water used for top-ups here tends to be hard. Inside the tanks that shows up as pale scale on the walls and grit at the base. We add a food-safe descaling step for the harder tanks and treat every sump as confined-space work — gas check, harness and a standby crew member outside. Sump cleaning runs ₹1,500–2,500 depending on size.
“Do you handle the whole DDA block’s common tank in Gharoli?” Yes. We work with the block RWA or secretary to clean the shared terrace tank that feeds the flats — full drain, sludge removal, jet-wash and disinfection, with photos for the society record. Society and RWA tanks are quoted per visit, with a discount on an annual contract covering four to six visits.
“How often should a shared DDA tank in Gharoli be cleaned?” Twice a year is right for a block where one tank feeds many flats, because slow turnover lets sediment settle. If the water has been running cloudy or smelling, book a one-time deeper clean first. A larger 1,001–2,000L block tank is ₹1,299–1,499; smaller tanks start at ₹699.
“Can you clean the block’s underground sump as well?” Yes. The Dairy Farm and DDA blocks often keep a large storage sump that is rarely opened. We clean it as confined-space work with a gas check, harness and a standby person outside, for ₹1,500–2,500 by size. We can do the terrace tank and the sump on the same visit and give one combined quote.
