Used ProEazy for underground sump cleaning at our Powai housing society. The team handled a large capacity sump with the submersible pump and sludge removal equipment. The process took about 3 hours and the water supply was restored the same morning. The residents noticed the difference in water quality almost immediately. Confirmed quote matched billing exactly

Andheri West, Mumbai "Booked ProEazy for overhead tank cleaning at our Andheri West building. The team drained the tank, removed the sludge at the base, scrubbed the walls, did the high-pressure jet wash, and applied the disinfectant throughout. The smell issue we had been living with for months disappeared after the first refill. Hygiene certificate issued same day. Confirmed quote with zero additions.
FAQs About Water Tank Cleaning in Mumbai
Find answers to common questions about
water tank cleaning services in Mumbai.
Does water tank cleaning interrupt the building's water supply?
Yes, but briefly. The tank must be drained fully for proper cleaning, which pauses the water supply to the flats served by that tank. For overhead tanks this is typically 2.5 to 3 hours. For underground sumps this is 3 to 5 hours depending on capacity. The supply is restored within a few hours of cleaning. Most Mumbai buildings schedule the cleaning for early morning so residents have supply restored before the day begins. Societies with multiple tanks clean one while keeping others in service.
Do Mumbai housing societies need a water tank hygiene certificate?
Many Mumbai housing societies now mandate periodic water tank cleaning with documented hygiene certification to maintain hygiene standards and avoid resident complaints. A hygiene and cleaning certificate confirms the tank was professionally cleaned and disinfected with government-approved food-grade agents and is safe for refilling. This is particularly important for societies undergoing audits and for buildings supplying water to children, elderly residents, medical facilities, or food businesses. ProEazy provides certificates on request.
What contaminants grow in uncleaned Mumbai water tanks?
Sludge and silty sediment settle at the base. Algae grows on walls, particularly in overhead tanks partially exposed to sunlight. Bacteria including E. coli, Legionella, and Salmonella multiply in stored water, causing diarrhoea, typhoid, cholera, and skin infections. Biofilm forms on tank walls and resists ordinary flushing. Rust particles accumulate from older metal tanks. Mineral scale from hard water blocks outlet pipes and damages washing machines and geysers.
Why is Mumbai's water tank contamination risk higher than other Indian cities?
Mumbai's water is treated at the Bhandup Water Treatment Plant before distribution, but it is stored in building overhead and underground tanks before reaching taps, and that storage allows sediment, minerals, algae, and bacteria to accumulate. The mix of BMC supply and private tanker water, each carrying different mineral loads, creates a specific sludge layer at the base of tanks. BMC's own survey data found that in 2012-13, 17 percent of water samples across the city were unsafe for consumption due to non-cleaning of building tanks. The BMC has since actively advised housing societies to clean tanks regularly using chlorine and high-pressure jets.
How often should a water tank be cleaned in Mumbai?
Every 6 months for independent flats and homes. Mumbai's water supply mixes BMC piped supply with private tanker water, two sources with different mineral and sediment profiles that together load tanks with sludge and scale faster than single-source supply cities. Homes in hard water areas and those heavily dependent on tanker supply should clean every 3 months. If you notice odour, discolouration, or residue in the water, book immediately regardless of the last cleaning date.
What is included in professional water tank cleaning in Mumbai?
Inspection of the tank structure and condition, full water draining using a submersible pump, manual sludge and sediment removal, industrial vacuum extraction of remaining particles, high-pressure jet cleaning of all walls and base, manual scrubbing of algae and biofilm, government-approved food-grade disinfectant spray applied by jet throughout, UV radiation treatment to kill suspended bacteria on tank walls, final rinse, drying, and hygiene certificate on request.
What is the difference between overhead tank cleaning and underground sump cleaning in Mumbai?
Overhead tanks are the smaller rooftop tanks that supply individual flats. They are cleaned with lightweight tools, manual scrubbing, and high-pressure jets. Underground sumps are large capacity storage tanks below ground that supply entire buildings or society blocks. They require a submersible pump for dewatering, a sludge pump for sediment removal, and industrial vacuum extraction before jet cleaning and disinfection. Both receive UV treatment as the final step.
How much does water tank cleaning cost in Mumbai?
Water tank cleaning in Mumbai costs Rs 449 to Rs 899 for an overhead rooftop tank and Rs 1,099 to Rs 2,199 for an underground sump. The range within each type depends on tank capacity in litres, sludge load, access constraints, and whether a hygiene certificate is required. Your price is confirmed in writing before booking with nothing added on the day.
Water Tank Cleaning Services in Mumbai: Understanding the Importance of Your Water Tank
The water that arrives at your tap in Mumbai has a longer and more eventful journey than most residents think about. It starts at one of the city's catchment lakes in the Sahyadris, flows through the distribution network, gets treated at the Bhandup Water Treatment Plant, and enters the city's pipe network as clean, treated water. By the time it reaches your building's underground sump, it has spent time in the distribution network picking up whatever the pipe condition allows. By the time it climbs to your rooftop overhead tank and then descends to your kitchen tap, it has spent additional time sitting in two storage stages in your building.
Those two storage stages are where the problem lives. Water treated by the BMC to a safe standard at the plant sits in the underground sump for hours before it is pumped up to the rooftop tank, and then sits in the rooftop tank until your tap draws it down. Sediment settles. Minerals precipitate out of solution. Algae finds a surface to grow on, particularly in overhead tanks with any exposure to sunlight. Bacteria that entered during the distribution stage, or that were already present in the tank from the last filling, multiply.
Mumbai's specific contamination pattern is made more complicated by the mix of BMC supply and private tanker water that most buildings depend on, especially during summer when BMC supply is insufficient. Tanker water and BMC supply carry different mineral profiles and different sediment loads. That combination creates a specific sludge layer at the base of tanks that single-source supply buildings do not see at the same rate. The BMC's own survey data found that 17 percent of water samples across the city were unsafe for consumption due to non-cleaning of building tanks, and the BMC has been advising housing societies to clean tanks regularly with chlorine and high-pressure jets ever since. The water testing lab at Dadar is available for sample analysis after cleaning.
The organisms that grow in uncleaned tanks are the same ones responsible for the waterborne illnesses that Mumbai households experience without identifying the source. The stomach infection after the monsoon. The skin irritation that appears without obvious cause. These are not always food-borne. They are sometimes water-borne, and the tank in between the BMC supply and your tap is where that happens.
Tank cleaning is not a cure. It is the preventative measure that keeps the contamination from beginning. Every 6 months for a flat or independent home. Every 3 months for hard water areas and buildings heavily dependent on tanker supply. Immediately if you notice odour, discolouration, or residue in the water at any tap.
What is Included in Water Tank Cleaning in Mumbai

Our Water Tank Cleaning Process in Mumbai
Step 1. Booking and Written Quote
Enter your Mumbai locality, tank type, approximate capacity, building type, and preferred date and time window on proeazy.in. For large capacity society sumps, a site inspection is scheduled before the quote is confirmed. Your price is confirmed in writing before payment.
Step 2. Tank Inspection
The professional inspects the tank structure, inlet, outlet, overflow, and interior condition before draining. Any cracks, blockages, or structural issues are flagged to you before work begins.
Step 3. Full Draining
All water drained from the tank using the submersible pump. The water supply to connected flats is paused during this stage.
Step 4. Sludge and Sediment Removal
Sludge pump removes thick silty sediment from the base. Industrial vacuum extracts fine particles that the sludge pump leaves behind. Manual removal of any remaining debris.
Step 5. Scrubbing
All interior walls, the base, corners, and the tank roof scrubbed manually using hard brushes and approved cleaning agents. This is the step that removes biofilm and algae that jet cleaning alone cannot dislodge.
Step 6. High-Pressure Jet Cleaning
Kranzle high-pressure machine cleans all interior surfaces. Reaches the corners and joins that scrubbing tools cannot fully access.
Step 7. Disinfection and UV Treatment
Government-approved food-grade disinfectant sprayed throughout the tank by specialist jet. UV radiation treatment applied to kill suspended bacteria adhering to the walls. Tank left in disinfected condition for the dwell time required before rinsing.
Step 8. Final Rinse and Drying
Tank rinsed clean of disinfectant residue. Dried and confirmed ready for refilling. No harmful chemical residue remains in the tank.
Step 9. Certificate and Refilling
Hygiene and cleaning certificate issued on request before the team departs. Tank refilling coordinated with the building's water supply schedule. Supply restored within a few hours of completion.
Step 10. Secure Payment
Pay online through UPI, card, netbanking, or wallet at the confirmed price.
