Ageing rooftop tank on an old plot house near Bhajanpura, worn-lid plastic tank along the Yamuna embankment, whole-building booking in the Ghonda lanes, we clean them all. Starting from Rs 699.
Ghonda is an old riverside quarter near Bhajanpura and the Yamuna embankment, full of decades-old plot houses and builder floors on a DJB-plus-borewell hard mix. Many of the tanks here have been in place for years, with worn or ill-fitting lids that let light and debris in, and the low-lying riverside humidity speeds up algae growth and scale along the walls. The result is greenish film and hard-water grit collecting together, which cloud the water and can give it an off smell. Older tanks with cracked fittings also let sediment sit undisturbed for long stretches.
Our crew knows the older Ghonda lanes and works the ageing tanks carefully, scrubbing off the algae film and disinfecting so the water clears up. We flag any tank too worn to hold up and give an honest view on cleaning versus replacing.
For a standard 1000-litre overhead tank, the whole job takes about 90 minutes from when we ring your doorbell to when we’re packing up. Underground sumps take a bit longer — usually 2 to 2.5 hours depending on how much sludge has built up.
You don’t need to provide anything. We bring our own water for the rinse, our own electricity backup if needed, vacuums, jet pumps, food-grade disinfectant, gloves, the works. We’ll show you photos of the tank before and after on WhatsApp once we’re done.
Many Ghonda tanks are years old with lids that no longer seal, so light gets in and the riverside humidity encourages algae along with the usual hard-water scale. A tank clean runs Rs 899 to 1,200, and the crew scrubs off the green film, clears the sediment, and finishes with an anti-bacterial wash to kill the growth. If the tank walls are cracked or badly warped we will tell you honestly, and a replacement Sintex tank fitted runs roughly Rs 4,000 to 12,000 by size. Where the tank is still sound, a deep clean does the job.
The damp low-lying setting near the embankment means Ghonda tanks grow algae faster than drier parts of the city, so we suggest cleaning every four to five months and a disinfectant wash each time. For an old plot house with a tank on each floor, a whole-building booking runs Rs 2,400 to 3,000 for the full set in one visit, cheaper than separate call-outs. One resident can book for the whole house, and we work all seven days at the same price.
"Our water looks greenish and smells musty. What causes that?" That is usually algae growing inside a tank whose lid no longer seals, made worse by the riverside humidity in Ghonda. A full scrub plus an anti-bacterial wash clears the growth, and reseating or replacing the lid keeps it from coming straight back.
"Our tank is very old. Should we clean it or replace it?" We give you an honest answer after looking inside. If the walls are sound, a deep clean at Rs 899 to 1,200 restores it. If it is cracked or badly warped, a new fitted Sintex tank runs about Rs 4,000 to 12,000 depending on size, and we show you the condition so you can decide.
"How often should we clean given the humidity here?" Every four to five months in Ghonda, because the damp near the embankment lets algae and scale build faster than in drier areas. Each visit includes a disinfectant wash to slow the regrowth.
