Which Chemicals Are Used for Tank Cleaning?

We clean shared and combo tanks for Sector 26's DDA HIG blocks, group-housing societies and the sector market buildings — same day where possible. Starting ₹699.
Sector 26 mixes DDA HIG flats with a cluster of group-housing societies and a lively sector market. The HIG blocks and societies both run large shared overhead tanks, and the societies add underground sumps fed by DJB plus borewell backup. The market buildings above the shops have their own tanks that see heavy daily draw, so sediment turns over quickly but so does the scaling on the borewell side. The overall water is moderately hard, and the biggest recurring issue we find is society sumps that no one has opened in years because they're out of sight below the pump room.
Sector 26's market keeps the sector busy, so for shop-building tanks we start early before trading picks up. Society and HIG-block jobs are best booked on a weekday afternoon when usage is lowest and the RWA can shut the pump.
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.
The most neglected tank in Sector 26 societies is almost always the underground sump — it's tucked below the pump room, out of sight, and often hasn't been opened since the society was built. When we do open one, there's usually a thick sludge bed and a scaled inlet that's been quietly feeding grit into every flat. We drain it fully, shovel and vacuum the sludge, scrub the walls, descale the inlet and sanitise. A society sump clean is ₹1,500-2,500 on its own; paired with the overhead tank as a full combo it's ₹4,500-6,000, and the descale on the hard-water inlet adds ₹300-500.
The DDA HIG blocks in Sector 26 run large shared overhead tanks feeding fewer but bigger flats, and the RWAs here mostly want a straightforward twice-a-year scrub-and-sanitise. A shared HIG block tank is ₹2,500-3,000 per clean. The market buildings are a different job — their tanks draw hard all day for shops and eateries, so we schedule an early-morning clean to avoid disrupting trade, and these are priced by tank size in the same ₹2,500-3,000 band, with descaling at ₹300-500 where the buildup warrants it.
“We've never cleaned our society sump — is that a problem?” It usually is. Sector 26 sumps hide below the pump room and collect years of sludge. A standalone sump clean is ₹1,500-2,500, or ₹4,500-6,000 done together with the overhead tank as a combo.
“How often do HIG block tanks need cleaning?” Twice a year covers most Sector 26 HIG blocks. A shared block tank is ₹2,500-3,000 per visit, with descaling at ₹300-500 in the harder pockets.
“Can you clean our market-building tank without stopping the shops?” Yes. We start early before trading, so a shop-building tank is cleaned and refilled by the time the market gets busy.
