Water Tank Cleaning
For apartments and flats in Pallabi: 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 Pallabi 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.
Mainly apartment buildings of varying age, some family houses, and schools, markets and small businesses; a few garment and manufacturing units in the wider area.
Newer buildings usually have lifts and a guard who may ask for the team's details; older blocks are walk-ups. Inner roads can be narrow, so the vehicle may stop a short walk away.
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.
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.
Walls, floor and ceiling are disinfected after scrubbing, not simply rinsed.
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

Common questions about water tank cleaning for apartments and flats in Pallabi.
Ideally together, or the deep clean first. Removing grease and clutter helps cockroach treatment work better. We can arrange both in a single visit for Pallabi homes; just ask when you book.
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.
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.
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.
