Water Tank Cleaning
For apartments and independent houses in Nikunja: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
Dhaka's warm, humid climate lets hygiene problems build quickly, and homes and workplaces in Nikunja are no exception. Dhaka Cleaners offers water tank cleaning here with an inspection-first approach: we find out what is happening and why, agree a plan with you and schedule the work to cause as little disruption as possible. Clear guidance before and after the visit is part of every job, so you know exactly what to expect.
Nikunja is a residential area beside the Airport Road, divided into Nikunja 1 and Nikunja 2, with the DSE Tower of the Dhaka Stock Exchange in Nikunja 2. Its roads are largely lined with apartment buildings and family houses. We clean homes and offices across both parts of Nikunja, from regular and deep cleaning to water tank cleaning and pest control.
Like much of Dhaka, Nikunja deals with two stubborn problems: fine dust from roads and building sites, and damp during the monsoon. Dust settles on grills, fans, ledges and floors within days, while humidity encourages mould in bathrooms, musty cupboards and stains that set quickly. When we plan water tank cleaning here, we look at how these conditions have affected your property and focus the time where it will make the most noticeable difference.
Mostly apartment buildings and independent houses on residential roads, with shops and eateries on busier roads and some office use, including the DSE Tower in Nikunja 2.
Traffic dust from the Airport Road settles on windows, grilles and balconies, and roof and underground water tanks need periodic cleaning. In the rainy season, mould in bathrooms and mosquitoes around drains and open plots are the main concerns.
The steps below are adjusted to your property and its condition, but the order rarely changes: understand the job, agree the scope, do the work, then review it together.
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.
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.
Cleaner storage means water filters, geysers and taps clog with deposits less quickly.
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
The cost of water tank cleaning depends on the size of the space, its condition and access, so each job is priced individually. A free quote, based on a call, photos or a short visit, gives you a clear figure before anything is booked.
Water Tank Cleaning in Nikunja and nearby Bashundhara, Khilkhet and Airport Area 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.
We cover Nikunja 1 and 2 for home and office cleaning; same-day visits for smaller jobs are sometimes possible, subject to team availability.
Parking near the building is usually possible on residential roads, though main-road traffic can slow our arrival at peak hours. Please let your guard or caretaker know the visit time, and tell us whether the building has a lift or is a walk-up.
Common questions about water tank cleaning in Nikunja.
Yes, we work in both. When you book, mention which part and your road number so the team can plan the route and parking.
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.
