Water Tank Cleaning
For apartments and flats in Nikunja: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
Dhaka Cleaners plans water tank cleaning for apartments and flats in Nikunja around the way these properties are built and used. Before booking, we ask about size, layout, surfaces and access, then send a trained team with the equipment the job needs. When you request a quote, choose Apartment as the property type so the scope and price reflect your property from the start.
Local conditions in Nikunja add to what apartments and flats need. Dust from surrounding roads and construction, humidity in the monsoon and heavy daily use all leave their mark, and the effects build up faster in some parts of a property than others. When we plan water tank cleaning, we ask where you notice problems first and use that to set priorities, so the time on site goes where it will make the biggest difference.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 Nikunja.
Morning and weekend visits tend to be popular in Nikunja, so they are usually the first slots to go.

We cover Nikunja 1 and 2 for home and office cleaning; same-day visits for smaller jobs are sometimes possible, subject to team availability.
Common questions about water tank cleaning for apartments and flats 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.
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.
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.
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.
