Water Tank Cleaning
For apartments and independent houses in Baridhara DOHS: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
Baridhara DOHS is largely residential, from apartment blocks to family houses, so Dhaka Cleaners plans water tank cleaning here with residents in mind. Equipment is kept compact in shared corridors and lifts, noisy work is kept to sensible hours, and caretakers are told in advance who is coming. Whether the job is in a flat, a house or a small workplace on a residential road, priorities are agreed with you first.
Baridhara DOHS is a defence officers' housing scheme in the north-eastern part of Baridhara, close to Bashundhara. Its apartment buildings and houses stand on planned roads with a strong residential character. Dhaka Cleaners supports DOHS households with regular home cleaning, deep cleaning, move-in cleaning and water tank cleaning.
In residential Baridhara DOHS, hygiene problems rarely stay inside one home. Pests travel through shared drains and service ducts, one underground reservoir or rooftop tank often serves a whole building, and stagnant water on roofs and balconies collects during the monsoon. That is why water tank cleaning here often works best when the caretaker or building committee is involved, so shared areas are dealt with properly rather than one flat at a time.
Predominantly residential: multi-storey family apartment buildings with some independent houses and very few commercial premises.
Large flats need periodic deep cleaning, kitchen and bathroom work and water tank cleaning. New buildings need post-construction cleaning, and move-in cleaning is common when flats change hands.
Dhaka Cleaners keeps the process simple. Most of the planning happens before the team arrives, which means less waiting and fewer surprises on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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

Common questions about water tank cleaning in Baridhara DOHS.
It depends on household size, pets and how much dust reaches the flat, but many families find that a deep clean every three to six months keeps kitchens, bathrooms and floors in good condition, with lighter regular cleaning in between.
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.
Usually for the few hours it takes to drain, clean, disinfect and refill the tank, plus the time your pump needs to fill it again. We plan the job with you so the shutdown is as short as practical. We also suggest storing water in advance for cooking, drinking and toilets.
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.
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.
