Old bungalow sumps off Mathura Road, kothi overhead tanks in the inner lanes, builder floors on the New Friends Colony border — we clean tanks across every Maharani Bagh pocket. ₹600 starting, same-day usually possible.
Maharani Bagh is one of South Delhi’s older affluent colonies — large bungalow plots, mostly built in the 60s and 70s, almost all with substantial underground sumps under driveways or front lawns plus rooftop tanks. Water is mostly DJB pipeline supply with borewell backup, and the plots are big enough that each house has its own water infrastructure rather than shared building tanks.
The pattern we see here over and over: sumps that haven’t been opened since the house was built decades ago, sealed under driveways with rusted hinges, holding years of sediment that nobody’s ever seen. Family decides to “just check” the sump and we end up there for 3 hours doing first-time-in-many-years cleaning.
Almost every first call we get from Maharani Bagh is about a sump that hasn’t been touched in 10-25 years. The house is old, the original residents are still there, nobody has ever really thought about the sump because the water from the tap looks fine. Then somebody notices a slight smell during summer, or the kids fall sick, and suddenly the sump becomes the suspect.
These jobs take 2.5-3 hours rather than the standard 90 minutes. The sump itself is almost always structurally fine — Maharani Bagh kothis were built solid. What we find inside: 4-8 inches of sludge, occasionally broken or rusted internal fittings, sometimes a cracked lid that needs replacement (₹500-700 extra). We send photos throughout so you can see what was actually down there.
Standard Maharani Bagh tank: about 90 minutes door-to-door for an overhead tank, 2-3 hours for a combined sump + overhead. We bring everything — vacuums, jet pumps, food-grade chlorine disinfectant, scrubbing brushes, rinse water. After cleaning, before-and-after WhatsApp photos and a GST invoice.
"Our Maharani Bagh sump has been sealed under the driveway since the 1980s. Is it still cleanable?" Almost certainly yes — Maharani Bagh kothis were built well and the sumps themselves usually hold up fine. First-clean-in-many-years takes 2.5-3 hours and runs ₹2000-2500 depending on size. We bring power tools to break a rusted lid if needed; replacement lid is ₹500-700 extra. The sump itself rarely needs replacement.
"We have a bungalow with multiple overhead tanks (master, kids’ floor, kitchen) plus the main sump. Can you do all in one visit?" Yes — multi-tank bungalow cleanings are routine for us in Maharani Bagh. Total time for a full bungalow (3-4 overhead tanks + 1 underground sump) runs 4-5 hours. Combined price is typically ₹3500-5000 depending on tank sizes. Annual contract drops this by 15-25%.
"Do we need to be home during the cleaning, or can our domestic staff supervise?" Either works. Many of our Maharani Bagh clients have staff supervise. We share before-and-after WhatsApp photos in real-time and the GST invoice gets sent to whichever email you specify. If staff sign for it on your behalf, that’s fine.
