Water Tank Cleaning
For apartments, offices and restaurants in Airport Area: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
Dhaka's warm, humid climate lets hygiene problems build quickly, and homes and workplaces in Airport Area are no exception. Dhaka Cleaners offers water tank cleaning here with an inspection-first approach: we find out what is happening and why, agree a plan with you and schedule the work to cause as little disruption as possible. Clear guidance before and after the visit is part of every job, so you know exactly what to expect.
The Airport Area covers the neighbourhoods and roads around Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Kurmitola, between Uttara and Nikunja and Khilkhet. It mixes homes with offices, hotels, eateries and businesses that serve travellers, all exposed to heavy traffic on the Airport Road. We clean homes and commercial premises across the area, including quick turnarounds before a family member flies in.
Properties in Airport Area range from recently completed buildings to ones that have seen decades of use, and each needs a different approach. Newer interiors often have delicate finishes and leftover construction dust; older ones tend to have worn grout, tired fittings and layers of built-up grime. Telling us the age and condition of your property helps us recommend a realistic scope for water tank cleaning and set honest expectations about the result.
A mixed area of apartment buildings, offices, hotels, restaurants and shops along and near the Airport Road, with residential streets set back from the main road.
Heavy traffic dust on glass, balconies, entrances and floors is the main challenge, so commercial premises benefit from frequent glass and floor cleaning. Homes often need a deep clean timed around travel, such as before a relative arrives from abroad or after a long absence.
Every job follows the same clear steps, so you always know what happens next and who to speak to at each stage.
We confirm the number, type and approximate size of the tanks, the access points and the best time to shut off the water.
The inlet is closed and the remaining water is pumped out; where practical it can be used for flushing or washing floors.
Sediment and sludge are removed from the tank floor with scoops, buckets and a sludge pump.
Walls, floor, ceiling and pipe mouths are scrubbed with stiff brushes and rinsed, with a pressure washer where suitable.
A chlorine-based disinfectant is applied and left for its contact time, then the tank is rinsed to clear any excess.
The tank is refilled, covers and vents are checked, and you are told about any defects we found.
We report cracked covers, missing vent mesh and rusting ladders that let contamination into the tank.
The job is planned with you or the building committee so the water is off for as short a time as practical.
Removing the sludge layer reduces the grit and discolouration that reach taps, showers and filters.
Cleaner storage means water filters, geysers and taps clog with deposits less quickly.
Equipment: The team uses submersible and sludge pumps, stiff long-handled brushes, scoops and buckets, a pressure washer where the tank lining allows it, and low-voltage or battery lighting for work inside.
Starting from ৳ 3,000 per tank
Starting price: ৳ 3,000 per tank. Because no two properties are the same, the final figure is set after a free assessment by phone, photos or a short visit, and any change in scope is agreed with you first.
Whether you are in Airport Area itself or close by in Uttara, Nikunja, Khilkhet and Cantonment, the booking process is the same: share the details, agree the scope and price, then choose a slot. We are always clear about when a team can realistically reach you; same-day service is subject to team availability and cannot be promised in advance.
Cleaning timed around a flight arrival can usually be arranged with a few days' notice; same-day visits are subject to team availability.
Main-road traffic around the airport can be slow at peak times, so we allow extra travel time and confirm the exact entrance and parking before arriving. Restricted airport premises need permits arranged by the client.
Common questions about water tank cleaning in Airport Area.
Often, yes, if you book a few days ahead. Tell us the arrival date and we will schedule the clean as close to it as team availability allows, so the home is fresh when they arrive.
Many buildings clean their tanks every six months, and once a year is a sensible minimum. Clean sooner if the water changes colour or smell, after flooding, or if insects or debris are found in the tank.
We use a chlorine-based disinfectant suited to water storage tanks, give it the contact time it needs and then rinse the tank before refilling. A faint chlorine smell for the first day is normal and fades as the water is used.
In most buildings, yes. The team usually cleans the underground reservoir and the overhead tank in sequence during the same visit, so the water only needs to be off once. Very large or heavily silted tanks can take longer, which we explain in advance.
We agree a date and time with the building committee, manager or caretaker, and can provide a short notice for residents. The pump is switched off beforehand, and residents are advised to store water for cooking, drinking and toilets until refilling is complete.
