Water Tank Cleaning
For apartments and independent houses in Turag: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
In Turag, family flats, offices, shops and eateries often share the same street or even the same building. That mix affects how Dhaka Cleaners plans water tank cleaning: we check building rules, lift availability and the quietest time to work, then adjust the team and timing to the property rather than applying a single routine. The scope and price are agreed with you before any work starts.
Turag is a thana on Dhaka's north-western edge, running along the Turag river beside Uttara's third phase and Diabari. It mixes long-standing local neighbourhoods with new housing and commercial premises, and much of the area is still being built up. We clean homes, new flats, shops and small workplaces across Turag.
Properties in Turag range from recently completed buildings to ones that have seen decades of use, and each needs a different approach. Newer interiors often have delicate finishes and leftover construction dust; older ones tend to have worn grout, tired fittings and layers of built-up grime. Telling us the age and condition of your property helps us recommend a realistic scope for water tank cleaning and set honest expectations about the result.
A mix of independent houses, new apartment buildings, shops and some small workshops or industrial premises, with land still being developed.
Construction dust in new flats, damp and mould during the monsoon, and mosquitoes near the river and open land are the main issues. Water tanks in both houses and new buildings benefit from periodic cleaning.
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.
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.
Ventilation, a standby colleague at the opening and safe lighting are standard for every underground reservoir.
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.
Water Tank Cleaning in Turag and nearby Uttara and Tongi 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.
Turag visits are planned with extra travel time; bookings made a few days ahead are easiest to fit in, subject to team availability.
Some roads are narrow, unpaved or affected by construction traffic, so please share a landmark and a contact number. We confirm where our vehicle can park before the team sets off.
Common questions about water tank cleaning in Turag.
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.
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.
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.
