We clean overhead tanks and underground sumps for Rohini Sector 8's DDA flats, plotted kothis and builder floors — same day where possible. Starting ₹699.
Sector 8 is a largely plotted-and-kothi sector with pockets of DDA flats, so independent homes with their own sump-and-overhead setups make up most of our work here rather than big shared society tanks. The kothis are often two to four storeys with a ground-level sump feeding a rooftop tank by pump, and the sump quietly accumulates the heaviest grit because it is the first stop for incoming water. DJB supply runs on the harder side in Sector 8, so descaling is a frequent add-on and stuck float valves are a common complaint. The DDA flat pockets have the standard shared block tanks. Older kothis sometimes still run their original cement sumps, which need careful hand de-silting.
Because Sector 8 is so kothi-heavy, nearly every job is a single household booking directly, which makes it a strong same-day sector — we keep a crew rolling through the plotted lanes most days. We confirm a two-hour arrival window and coordinate pump shut-off with the owner before we drain the sump.
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 bread-and-butter Sector 8 job is a plotted kothi with a ground sump and a rooftop tank connected by a pump, where the sump has never been opened and holds years of settled grit. We shut off the pump, drain and hand-de-silt the sump, scrub and disinfect it, then clean the overhead tank and flush the line before refilling. A combined sump-and-overhead clean runs ₹4,500-6,000 depending on sump size; a sump alone is ₹1,500-2,500 and the rooftop tank alone ₹699-1,499. For kothis that have never touched the sump, we strongly recommend the combined clean the first time.
Sector 8's harder supply means we run descaling here more than in most Rohini sectors — the ₹300-500 add-on strips the mineral crust off tank walls and frees jammed float valves that owners often call about. For the DDA flat pockets, the shared block overhead tank is cleaned at ₹2,500-3,000 for a 2,000-3,000L unit, split across flats by the RWA. Builder-floor and single-flat tanks start at ₹699. We suggest kothi owners with hard-water scaling pair every clean with a descale so fittings last, and book the sump at least once a year given how fast grit settles here.
“My kothi's sump has never been cleaned — what's involved?” We shut the pump, drain and hand-de-silt the sump, disinfect it and clean the rooftop tank too. A combined sump-and-overhead clean is ₹4,500-6,000; we recommend the combined job the first time.
“Why does my float valve keep sticking?” Sector 8's supply is hard, so mineral scale furs up valves. A ₹300-500 descaling add-on strips the crust off the walls and fittings and stops the valve jamming.
“Can you come to a single kothi the same day?” Yes — Sector 8 is mostly single-home bookings and we keep a crew in the plotted lanes daily, so a same-day two-hour window is usually available.
