Water Tank Cleaning

Many Chennai properties store water in underground sumps and overhead tanks, filled from corporation supply, borewells or tankers. Over time sediment, algae and debris collect inside. Flourrish coordinates professional tank cleaning so the water you store stays cleaner and the tanks are inspected for problems.

About this service

Water storage in Chennai often passes through several stages, from sump to overhead tank to taps, and each stage can collect silt, rust, algae and organic matter. Borewell water with high mineral content leaves scale on tank walls, and tanker water may carry sediment. Overhead tanks exposed to sun encourage algae growth, while sumps can be contaminated if lids are damaged or if rainwater seeps in during heavy monsoon downpours. Regular cleaning is a simple measure that improves water quality and protects pumps and fittings.

Flourrish arranges a tank cleaning service provider, coordinates the timing with occupants so the water supply interruption is planned, and checks that the cleaning covers draining, sludge removal, scrubbing, rinsing and disinfection. We also ask the service provider to report cracks, damaged lids, rusted ladders or leaking inlets. For apartment buildings, we can work with the association, or handle individual tanks for independent houses and villas.

  • Scrubbing of walls and floor to remove algae and scale

Frequently asked questions

How often should water tanks be cleaned?

Frequency depends on the water source and usage. Tanks filled with borewell or tanker water may need cleaning more often. The cleaning service provider can advise based on what they find.

Will the property be without water during cleaning?

There will be a temporary interruption while tanks are drained and cleaned. We coordinate the timing with occupants and confirm the expected duration beforehand.

Can you also fix a leaking sump?

Leaks or cracks found during cleaning are reported to you. Repairs can be coordinated separately through our waterproofing or plumbing services.
