Water Tank Cleaning
For apartments and flats in Gulshan: 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 Gulshan 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.
Gulshan combines high-rise apartment towers and remaining independent houses with dense commercial frontage along Gulshan Avenue and around both circles. Offices, bank branches, restaurants, embassies and clinics sit close to residential streets.
Most buildings have a guard desk, visitor logs and management rules on service-lift use and working hours. Street parking is tight around the circles, so tell us whether a vehicle can unload at your building. Embassy-linked premises may need staff names in advance.
Every job follows the same clear steps, so you always know what happens next and who to speak to at each stage.
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
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.

Common questions about water tank cleaning for apartments and flats in Gulshan.
Yes. Before the visit we ask about lift booking, permitted working hours, guard desk procedures and where our team can unload equipment. If the management office needs staff names or a written request, let us know and we will provide what is needed before the booked date.
Evening, early-morning and weekend visits can usually be arranged for offices, restaurants and bank branches so that daily work is not disrupted. Please book these slots a few days ahead, as they are popular and always subject to team availability.
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.
We use a chlorine-based disinfectant suited to water storage tanks, give it the contact time it needs and then rinse the tank before refilling. A faint chlorine smell for the first day is normal and fades as the water is used.
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.
