Water Tank Cleaning
For apartments, independent houses, schools and restaurants in Bashundhara: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
Bashundhara 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.
Bashundhara is a large private residential development in north-east Dhaka, sitting beside Progoti Sarani and Kuril. Most of it is the Bashundhara Residential Area, laid out in lettered blocks, where modern apartment buildings stand alongside independent houses, private universities and Evercare Hospital Dhaka. Dhaka Cleaners cleans flats, family houses and newly handed-over units here, as well as the offices, cafés and schools that serve the neighbourhood, with the price agreed before any work starts.
Hygiene risks in Bashundhara follow the seasons. The monsoon can bring waterlogging, damp and more mosquitoes; the dry months carry dust into tanks and ducts; and warm weather all year suits cockroaches and other pests. Properties here (apartments, independent houses, schools and restaurants) each have their weak points, from rooftop tanks and underground reservoirs to kitchens, drains and store rooms, and water tank cleaning is planned around the ones that matter at your address.
Mostly multi-storey apartment buildings with independent houses and duplexes mixed in. Universities, schools, a large private hospital, cafés and small offices serve the residential blocks.
Construction dust on windows, grilles and balconies is a constant issue while nearby plots are being built. Newly handed-over flats typically need paint, cement and sticker residue removed before move-in. Larger homes with several bathrooms benefit from periodic limescale and mould treatment, especially after the monsoon.
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.
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.
Removing the sludge layer reduces the grit and discolouration that reach taps, showers and filters.
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
Prices start from ৳ 3,000 per tank. Your confirmed quote reflects the actual scope, the condition of the property and any extras you choose, and it is agreed with you before work begins.
Water Tank Cleaning in Bashundhara and nearby Badda, Baridhara, Nikunja and Khilkhet is scheduled with a little preparation time, so you can store water, clear cupboards or plan around the work as needed. For urgent problems, such as a sudden infestation or discoloured water, call or WhatsApp us; same-day visits are possible only subject to team availability.
Bashundhara jobs are normally booked a few days ahead. Same-day visits may be possible if you contact us early, subject to team availability.
Most buildings have a guard desk and building management, so we share the team's details in advance and confirm lift or service-lift use. Traffic on Progoti Sarani and around Kuril can slow arrival at peak hours, so we build travel time into the schedule.
Common questions about water tank cleaning in Bashundhara.
Many apartment buildings in Bashundhara ask for visitors and service teams to be registered at the guard desk, and some need the management office to approve lift use for equipment. When you book, we ask for the flat number and a contact person, and we can share the team leader's name and phone number beforehand so the guards are expecting us.
Yes. Because so many buildings in Bashundhara are new, move-in and post-construction cleans are frequent requests. We remove cement and paint marks, clean inside cabinets, wash bathroom and kitchen fittings, and clean windows and grilles. The time needed depends on the size of the flat and how much building residue is left, so we confirm scope and price before starting.
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.
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.
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.
