Why Water Tank Cleaning Is Essential in Bangladesh

The hidden health risk in your water tank

Rooftop and underground water tanks accumulate sludge, algae, rust, and bacteria over time. In Bangladesh's heat and humidity, biofilm builds up quickly — contaminating the water your family drinks and uses for cooking.

Health risks of dirty water tanks

  • E. coli and coliform bacteria from bird droppings and dead insects
  • Legionella in stagnant warm water
  • Algae and sediment causing bad taste and odor
  • Iron and rust particles staining clothes and fixtures
  • WHO recommendation

    The World Health Organization recommends cleaning water storage tanks every 6 months. In Dhaka's climate, we recommend every 3–4 months for rooftop tanks exposed to direct sunlight.

    Professional cleaning process

  • Drain and pump out all water and sediment
  • Manual scrubbing of all interior surfaces
  • Disinfection with food-grade chlorine solution
  • Rinse, refill, and water quality testing
  • Certificate of disinfection provided
  • How much does water tank cleaning cost in Dhaka?

    Residential overhead tanks typically cost ৳1,500–৳4,000 depending on capacity. Building-wide tanks and underground sumps are priced based on volume.
