Water Tank Cleaning Cost Per BHK in Delhi (2026 Rates)
Most Delhi homes do not know their tank size — but they know their BHK. Here is the mapping, and what each configuration usually pays.
Tank cleaning is priced by litres, not bedrooms. But almost every caller knows their BHK and not their capacity, so here is the practical translation for Delhi housing stock.
| Home | Usual tank setup | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 BHK / barsati | 500 L overhead | ₹699 |
| 2 BHK builder floor | 1,000 L overhead | ₹899 |
| 3 BHK builder floor | 1,000–1,500 L overhead | ₹899 – ₹1,299 |
| 4 BHK floor | 1,500–2,000 L overhead | ₹1,299 – ₹1,499 |
| Kothi (independent house) | 2,000 L overhead + sump | ₹2,900 – ₹3,900 for both |
| Villa / farmhouse | Multiple tanks + large sump | Survey-based |
The builder-floor trap
Delhi builder floors usually share one overhead tank per floor and one common sump for the building. Residents clean their own floor tank and assume somebody handles the sump. Nobody does. The sump then feeds silt straight back up to every freshly cleaned tank in the building.
If you live in a builder floor, find out who owns the sump before you book. Splitting a ₹1,800 sump clean four ways is ₹450 each, and it is the single highest-value ₹450 in this entire price list.
Combining floors
Four tanks in one building on one visit cost noticeably less per tank than four separate visits, because travel and setup are paid once. Coordinate with your neighbours; we quote the building, not the floor.
