Water Tank Cleaning
For apartments, independent houses and schools in Wari: trained cleaners, professional equipment and a clear price agreed before work starts.
Water Tank Cleaning in Wari from Dhaka Cleaners comes with clear expectations on both sides. Before the work starts, you know what is included, roughly how long it will take and whether you need to prepare anything. While it is under way, a supervisor is your point of contact for questions or changes. If your plans shift, rescheduling takes one call or WhatsApp message, and a new slot is offered subject to team availability.
Wari is one of Dhaka's oldest planned residential neighbourhoods, set within the wider Old Dhaka area, with a mix of older family houses and newer apartment buildings. Baldha Garden, the historic botanical garden, lies within the neighbourhood. Dhaka Cleaners provides home deep cleaning, kitchen and bathroom cleaning, pest control, water tank cleaning and sofa care for Wari families, along with cleaning for schools, clinics and small businesses.
Hygiene risks in Wari follow the seasons. The monsoon can bring waterlogging, damp and more mosquitoes; the dry months carry dust into tanks and ducts; and warm weather all year suits cockroaches and other pests. Properties here (apartments, independent houses and schools) each have their weak points, from rooftop tanks and underground reservoirs to kitchens, drains and store rooms, and water tank cleaning is planned around the ones that matter at your address.
A blend of older family houses and newer apartment buildings, with schools, coaching centres, clinics and small shops.
High ceilings, tall windows and old mosaic floors in older homes need extra time and the right tools. Monsoon damp, cockroaches, bathroom scale and water tank cleaning are frequent requests.
Here is how water tank cleaning in Wari usually runs, from your first message to the final check.
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

Dhaka Cleaners covers Wari and nearby areas including Motijheel, Old Dhaka and Jatrabari. Same-day visits are sometimes possible, subject to team availability, but booking a day or two ahead gives us the best chance of offering the time you want. Larger jobs are scheduled once the scope is agreed, so the right team and equipment can be assigned.
We serve all of Wari. Same-day visits may be possible, subject to team availability; high-ceiling and floor-polishing jobs are best booked ahead.
Roads are more regular than in much of Old Dhaka but still congested, with limited parking. Older houses may lack lifts, and some buildings ask for advance notice to the guard or owner.
Common questions about water tank cleaning in Wari.
Yes. We bring ladders and extension poles for ceiling fans, cornices, high windows and cobwebs. Mention the ceiling height when booking so we send the right equipment and team size.
Usually, yes. Mosaic and terrazzo floors respond well to machine scrubbing and polishing, although deep cracks or chips will remain. We can test a small area first so you can see the result before the full job.
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.
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.
