Water Tank Cleaning
For apartments and flats in Banani: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
If you are responsible for one of the many apartments and flats in Banani, you probably already know where dirt and wear build up fastest. Tell us, and Dhaka Cleaners will focus the water tank cleaning there first, then work through the rest of the agreed scope. Photos sent on WhatsApp help us estimate the time and team size before anyone visits.
Choosing Apartment when you request a quote tells us a lot, but the details still matter: the age of the building, the floor and wall finishes, how many people use the space and any recent work such as painting or repairs. Share what you can and Dhaka Cleaners will suggest a scope for water tank cleaning in Banani that is realistic for your property, your timing and your budget.
Apartment buildings usually share one large underground reservoir and one or more overhead tanks, so the job affects every household at once. We plan it with the building committee or manager, suggest a date and time that suits most residents, and can provide a short notice to share in the residents' group. The caretaker switches off the pump, our team cleans the reservoir and rooftop tank in sequence, and water is restored as soon as refilling allows. We also check that manhole covers, often set in the car park or driveway, close securely.
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.
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.
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.
Ventilation, a standby colleague at the opening and safe lighting are standard for every underground reservoir.
Walls, floor and ceiling are disinfected after scrubbing, not simply rinsed.
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.
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
Every water tank cleaning job in Banani is priced on its actual scope rather than a one-size rate. Share the details through the quote form or on WhatsApp, and we will confirm the price before work begins.
Banani sits close to Gulshan, Baridhara, Mohakhali and Cantonment, and Dhaka Cleaners plans work across these areas together. Homes can usually choose daytime or weekend slots, while shops and offices often prefer early-morning or after-hours visits; both are offered where available. Same-day service may be possible, subject to team availability, so call or WhatsApp to check.
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.
Common questions about water tank cleaning for apartments and flats 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.
Cleaning removes sediment and growth from the tank, but it cannot change the quality of the water entering your building. Continue to boil or filter drinking water as you normally would.
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.
Often, especially after flooding, a pipe repair or a sudden change in the colour or smell of the water. Short-notice visits are subject to team availability. We will ask about the tank type, size and access so the right equipment comes with the team.
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.
