Water Tank Cleaning
For apartments and flats in Baridhara DOHS: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
Hygiene problems often start in places people rarely look: drains, service ducts, store rooms, rooftop tanks and underground reservoirs. Dhaka Cleaners provides water tank cleaning for apartments and flats in Baridhara DOHS with an inspection first, clear preparation advice and methods chosen for the building and the people using it, including children, staff and pets.
For apartments and flats, effective water tank cleaning depends on covering the whole system, not just the obvious spot. That can mean every tank serving the building, or every kitchen, drain and entry point that pests use. Dhaka Cleaners maps these out with you, agrees timing with anyone affected, such as residents, staff or the building committee, and leaves you with clear advice on keeping the problem from coming back.
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.
Predominantly residential: multi-storey family apartment buildings with some independent houses and very few commercial premises.
Entry to the DOHS may involve a gate check, so let us know if the team's details must be shared beforehand. Most buildings have a guard and set rules for using the lift to move equipment.
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
As a guide, water tank cleaning starts from ৳ 3,000 per tank; larger, heavily soiled or hard-to-reach jobs cost more. Send a few photos and we will confirm the price for your property in Baridhara DOHS.

Common questions about water tank cleaning for apartments and flats 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.
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.
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.
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.
