Home › Water Tank Cleaning › East Delhi › Shiv Vihar
Tall builder-floor rooftop tank near the Delhi-UP border, shared plastic tank in the Shiv Vihar Tiraha lanes, whole-building booking off the main road, we clean them all. Starting from Rs 699.
Shiv Vihar sits at the far north-east edge of Delhi, right up against the UP border, and it is packed with tall builder-floor colonies rising five and six storeys on tight plots. The area runs almost entirely on hard borewell water, which drops heavy scale and gritty sediment into the rooftop tanks and settles as a chalky crust on the tank floor. Occupancy is high with constant tenant turnover, so water usage is heavy and the tanks rarely get a rest. Left alone, the grit gets pulled through the pipes and clouds the supply reaching the taps below.
Our crew carries equipment up the tall staircases to the rooftop and works the scale off by hand before flushing and disinfecting. We schedule whole-building tanks together so the whole occupancy gets clean water in one visit.
For a standard 1000-litre overhead tank, the whole job takes about 90 minutes from when we ring your doorbell to when we’re packing up. Underground sumps take a bit longer — usually 2 to 2.5 hours depending on how much sludge has built up.
You don’t need to provide anything. We bring our own water for the rinse, our own electricity backup if needed, vacuums, jet pumps, food-grade disinfectant, gloves, the works. We’ll show you photos of the tank before and after on WhatsApp once we’re done.
The borewell water in Shiv Vihar is genuinely hard, so the plastic rooftop tanks build a chalky scale layer along with gritty sediment on the floor. A shared rooftop tank clean runs Rs 899 to 1,200, and the crew scrapes the scale, jets out the grit, and finishes with a disinfectant wash so the water tastes and looks cleaner. On tall buildings the tank sits five or six floors up, and our team carries everything to the roof at no extra cost. Heavily scaled first cleanings simply take a little longer.
Buildings here are fully occupied with rooms let out floor by floor, so a single tank can feed a lot of people and needs cleaning more often than the usual six months. For a building with several tanks, a whole-building booking runs Rs 2,400 to 3,000 in one visit, cheaper than cleaning each tank on a separate call-out. The landlord usually books and recovers a small share from tenants through the rent. We work all seven days including Sundays at the same price.
"Our tank is on the sixth floor. Will your crew still clean it?" Yes. We routinely work tall builder floors in Shiv Vihar and carry the pumps, brushes and hose up the staircase ourselves. There is nothing you need to arrange, and no extra charge for the height.
"The borewell water is very hard here. How often should we clean?" In Shiv Vihar we suggest every four to five months rather than the usual six, because the hard water lays down scale and grit quickly and the buildings are heavily occupied. Regular cleaning keeps the sediment from building into a thick crust that is harder to remove later.
"Can the landlord book for the whole building at once?" Yes, and it is the cheaper way. A whole-building multi-tank visit is Rs 2,400 to 3,000, done in one trip, with a single invoice to the landlord who can recover a share from tenants.
