Khizrabad — the village pocket on New Friends Colony’s D-block side, where rebuilt four-storey rental blocks run one shared overhead tank each, often with a cracked or missing lid. We scrub, disinfect and flag what’s letting contamination in. From ₹699.
Khizrabad packs original village homes and rebuilt four-storey rental blocks into lanes a hand-cart fills, housing students and working tenants drawn by rents a fraction of New Friends Colony’s next door. The defining setup is one overhead tank per building serving every floor, reached by a tight internal staircase and a ladder bolted at an angle only the local plumber trusts. And the defining defect is the lid: cracked, warped or simply gone, leaving the building’s entire water supply open to dust, insects and birds.
Because tenants rotate every academic year and most landlords have moved out to the colony side, the tank belongs to everyone and no one. We regularly open Khizrabad tanks with visible larvae activity, leaf litter and a sediment bed that predates every current tenant in the building. The repair list is usually short and cheap — a ₹300 lid, a mosquito mesh on the overflow — and we photograph exactly what needs fixing alongside the clean itself.
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.
Four floors of tenants, one tank — that’s the Khizrabad standard. When the water starts tasting off, each floor assumes another floor complained already. We make the fix one phone call: any tenant or the landlord books, we clean the shared tank at ₹699 (up to 500L) or ₹899 (to 1,000L), and everyone in the building gets before-and-after photos on WhatsApp. Landlords who’ve moved to NFC or further can book and pay remotely; we coordinate access with any resident tenant.
A tank with a missing lid isn’t storing water, it’s collecting the lane — dust, kite string, feathers, mosquito eggs. In Khizrabad’s rental blocks we find open or broken lids on roughly half the roofs we visit. Every clean therefore ends with a lid-and-fittings check: we photograph cracked covers, unmeshed overflow pipes and corroded inlet joints, and send the landlord a short list with the service photos. Sealing the tank properly is what makes the ₹699 clean last its full six months.
“I’m a Khizrabad landlord living elsewhere — can I book without being present?” Yes, most of our Khizrabad bookings work that way. You book and pay remotely, a tenant gives our crew roof access, and you receive timestamped before-and-after photos plus a note on any lid or fitting that needs replacing.
“The tank in our building has no lid and there are things floating in it. How fast can you come?” Same day if you call before 10 AM. An open tank is a health issue, not a cosmetic one — we drain it fully, remove all debris and sludge, jet-scrub, disinfect with food-grade chemicals, and tell you exactly what lid size to buy before we leave.
“Our staircase is very tight and the ladder to the roof is rough. Can your crew manage?” Yes — tight internal staircases and improvised roof ladders are standard in Khizrabad’s rebuilt blocks. Our equipment breaks down into carry loads, and the crew brings its own safety line for sketchy final climbs.
