DDA-developed Pockets A to H, the lanes around Apollo Hospital, the Jasola border buildings — we clean tanks across every Sarita Vihar pocket. Starting ₹600, same-day usually possible.
Sarita Vihar is a planned DDA development built in the 80s and 90s, which makes it different from the older organic neighbourhoods nearby. Most buildings are 4-5 storey DDA blocks organised into Pockets A through H, with proper water infrastructure built in. Most households are on DJB pipeline supply rather than borewell, which means tank sediment accumulates more slowly than in tanker-dependent areas.
That said, neglect catches up everywhere. A lot of Sarita Vihar buildings have shared rooftop tanks that the building RWA hasn’t had cleaned in years — everyone assumes someone else is taking care of it. The first cleaning we do for these tanks usually surprises everyone with how much sediment was hidden at the bottom, even though the water at the tap "looked fine".
Sarita Vihar buildings fall into two categories. Some pockets have individual rooftop tanks — one per flat, easy to book independently, ₹600-750 standard pricing. Other pockets (especially the newer ones) have shared overhead tanks — one or two large 5000-10000 litre tanks serving the entire building’s 12-20 flats.
For shared tanks, the booking has to come from the RWA or maintenance committee since the tank is common property, not individual. The good news: shared cleaning is much cheaper per-household. A 5000L tank cleaning runs ₹2500-3500 total, which split across 16 flats works out to ₹150-220 per family — way less than what they’d pay individually.
Individual flat tank: 60-90 minutes. Shared building tank (5000-10000L): 2-3 hours, scheduled during a low-water-use window so residents aren’t inconvenienced. We bring everything — vacuums, jet pumps, food-grade chlorine disinfectant, scrubbing equipment, rinse water. RWA gets the GST invoice; individual residents get before-and-after WhatsApp photos.
Sarita Vihar residents often say their water looks clean from the tap, so why bother cleaning the tank? Fair question. The thing is: the tap pulls water from the top of the tank, and the top of the tank is always relatively clean. What we find when we open the lid for the first deep clean is usually 3-6 inches of fine sediment that’s settled at the bottom over years, slowly contaminating water quality — particularly during low-supply periods when the level drops to where the sediment lives.
Most Sarita Vihar residents who go through a first deep clean immediately want to set up an annual contract for the building. The before-and-after photos make the case better than any sales pitch.
"Our Sarita Vihar Pocket has a shared rooftop tank for the whole building — who books?" Shared building tanks need RWA or maintenance committee approval. Usually one resident raises it, and we coordinate directly with the RWA. Happy to talk to your RWA secretary if you share their contact.
"Sarita Vihar is largely DDA-developed — is the water cleaner than other South Delhi areas?" Comparatively yes. Mostly DJB pipeline (less borewell), and tanks accumulate sediment more slowly. Every 6 months is usually enough.
"We live near Apollo Hospital. Can you reach us in afternoon traffic?" Yes — our 90-minute window accounts for it. Morning slots beat the traffic; afternoon slots add 20-30 minutes to the arrival estimate.
All Pockets A to H covered, plus the Apollo Hospital side and the Jasola border buildings. If your specific block isn’t named in the sub-areas above, just call.
Same crew, same prices, same-day where possible.
