Why it matters
What builds up inside your water tank
Even when the water looks clear, a layer of mud and sediment settles at the bottom of every storage tank. Over months, algae and slime grow on the walls, rust and dirt collect around the inlet, and in open or poorly sealed tanks, insects and mosquito larvae can get in.
In Kerala, the monsoon makes this worse. Muddy supply water and high humidity speed up sediment and algae growth, especially in overhead tanks exposed to sunlight. That water is what your family uses for bathing, washing and cooking.
Regular professional cleaning removes this build-up, reduces the risk of waterborne illness, and helps your tank, pipes and taps last longer.

Price & time
How much does water tank cleaning cost in Kochi?
We price on inspection, so you only pay for the work your tanks need. The cost mainly depends on:
- Tank capacity in litres
- Number of tanks to be cleaned
- Type and access: overhead, concrete or underground sump
- Condition: how much sediment and algae has built up
We bring all tools, equipment and cleaning products. Customers only need to provide water and electricity. Your water supply from the tank will be paused during cleaning, and we will tell you how long when we quote.
Send us your location, the number and size of your tanks, and a photo if possible on WhatsApp, and we’ll give you a clear, fixed quote.
