Water Tank Cleaning
For apartments, offices, independent houses and schools in Banani: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
The quickest way to plan water tank cleaning in Banani is often a few photos. Send them on WhatsApp with a short description of the space, and Dhaka Cleaners can usually suggest a scope, a team size and a likely duration without a site visit. Larger or unusual jobs may still need someone to look in person first. Once the details are agreed, we confirm a time that works around your household or business.
Banani sits between Gulshan and the Cantonment and packs a lot into a small area: apartment buildings on quiet residential roads, the offices, banks and restaurants of Kemal Ataturk Avenue, the cafés of Road 11 and the green edge of Banani Lake. Dhaka Cleaners serves Banani households and businesses with deep cleaning, regular cleaning, restaurant and office cleaning, and specialist work such as sofa, carpet and water tank cleaning.
Where your building in Banani has a caretaker, guard or management office, a smooth job depends on working with them. Before water tank cleaning begins, Dhaka Cleaners can confirm permitted working hours, whether the service lift must be booked, where water and power are available and how waste should leave the building. Agreeing these points early avoids delays on the day and keeps neighbours and other tenants on side.
Apartment buildings dominate the residential roads, with commercial towers, bank branches and restaurants along Kemal Ataturk Avenue and a dense cluster of restaurants and cafés around Road 11.
Restaurant kitchens need hood, exhaust and duct degreasing plus regular pest control. Offices and banks want after-hours cleaning and glass care, while flats most often book deep cleaning, sofa and carpet shampooing and water tank cleaning.
Health and safety shape every stage, from the first inspection and preparation advice to the aftercare guidance you receive once the work is complete.
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.
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.
Ventilation, a standby colleague at the opening and safe lighting are standard for every underground reservoir.
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
Water Tank Cleaning starts from ৳ 3,000 per tank. The final price depends on the size of the area or the number of tanks, how established the problem is and access, and it is confirmed after a free assessment.
Travel across Dhaka can be slow at peak times, so Dhaka Cleaners groups work in Banani with nearby areas such as Gulshan, Baridhara, Mohakhali and Cantonment and agrees arrival windows in advance. If your preferred slot is already taken, we will suggest the nearest alternative. Same-day requests are welcome, though they remain subject to team availability.
We work in Banani most days of the week. Same-day visits are subject to team availability, and after-closing restaurant cleaning should be booked ahead.
Evening traffic around Road 11 and Kemal Ataturk Avenue is heavy and parking is limited, so we agree unloading points in advance. Apartment and office buildings usually require entry through the guard desk and may need lift booking.
Common questions about water tank cleaning in Banani.
Yes. Restaurant cleaning, including kitchen hood and exhaust fan degreasing, is usually scheduled after the last service or before opening so the kitchen is not out of use during trading hours. Late-night slots are limited, so please book a few days in advance.
It can be, depending on the size of the job and which teams are free that day. Small jobs such as a single bathroom or a sofa set are easier to fit in at short notice, while full-flat deep cleaning is best booked a day or two ahead. All same-day requests are subject to team availability.
Someone who can open the roof and reservoir access and operate the pump should be available at the start and end of the job. In apartment buildings this is usually the caretaker or a member of the building committee.
Yes. Plastic tanks are cleaned with softer brushes and without abrasive tools that could scratch the inner surface. They are often quicker to clean than concrete tanks.
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.
