In 2026, the definition of "clean water" has shifted from merely 'clear-looking' to 'microbiologically safe.' For homeowners in Mysore, the challenges are unique. While the city receives water from the Kaveri and Kapila rivers, the journey of that water through aging municipal pipes and eventually into your overhead tank or underground sump introduces several contaminants.
Searching for "water tank cleaning services near me" is often the first step when residents notice a slight yellow tint in their bucket or a faint earthy smell. However, the real dangers—Biofilms and Legionella bacteria—are invisible. A neglected tank accumulates a layer of sludge at the bottom that acts as a nutrient source for pathogens. In Mysore’s tropical climate, even a few weeks of neglect can lead to rapid algae growth.
At Service Raju, we treat water tank maintenance as a clinical procedure. With over 10 years of experience in Mysore, we understand that a clean tank is the first line of defense against skin infections, digestive issues, and hair fall caused by contaminated water.
Generic cleaning involves a person climbing into your tank with a broom and a bucket—this often introduces more bacteria than it removes. Service Raju employs a scientifically backed 6-step process that utilizes specialized equipment.
We use high-capacity submersible pumps to drain the tank quickly. This ensures that we don't waste hours of your time and minimizes water wastage by targeting only the stagnant water.
Once the water is out, the thick layer of settled silt, mud, and organic matter (sludge) is removed using industrial-grade vacuum cleaners. This is crucial because sludge contains the highest concentration of heavy metals and bacteria.
We use specialized high-pressure nozzles (120-150 bar) to blast away stubborn calcium scaling and algae from the walls, ceiling, and corners of the tank. This reaches crevices that manual scrubbing simply cannot.
After jet washing, any remaining dirt and dirty water are vacuumed out again, leaving the tank floor bone-dry and spotless.
We apply a food-grade, non-toxic antibacterial spray across all internal surfaces. This is designed to kill 99.9% of residual microbes without leaving any chemical odor or affecting the taste of your water.
As the final 'fail-safe,' we use a portable UV Germicidal Lamp inside the empty tank. This kills any remaining airborne bacteria or spores, ensuring the tank is sterile before it is refilled.
Service Raju is deeply rooted in the Mysore community. We understand the specific water quality issues across different zones:

The Client: Mr. Ramesh, a resident of Vijayanagar 4th Stage, Mysore. The Problem: The family noticed that their children were developing minor skin rashes and their hair felt excessively brittle. They had an RO water purifier for drinking, but the bathing and washing water was causing issues. The Discovery: Our team inspected their 2000L overhead Sintex tank. We found a thick layer of black sludge and a dead bird that had slipped through a cracked lid. The high bacterial count in the bathing water was the culprit. The Solution: Service Raju performed a full 6-step deep clean, replaced the broken lid with a heavy-duty airtight one, and sterilized the tank with UV. The Result: Within two weeks, the family reported that the skin rashes had cleared up, and the water clarity was noticeably better. This highlights that cleaning isn't just about the tank—it's about the entire water hygiene ecosystem.
In Mysore, the monsoon season (June to September) often brings more silt into the municipal lines. We recommend a professional clean every 3 to 4 months if you use a mix of borewell and municipal water, and at least once every 6 months for pure municipal water users.
Even if you have an RO filter, a dirty tank puts immense strain on your purifier's filters, leading to frequent and expensive filter replacements. More dangerously, bacteria like Salmonella can bypass aging filters, leading to waterborne diseases like Typhoid or Gastroenteritis.
Absolutely not. We use food-grade, eco-friendly disinfectants that are completely biodegradable. After our 6-step process, we rinse the tank thoroughly. Your water will taste fresher because the organic impurities have been removed.
Yes! We understand that discovering a contaminated tank (like finding a pest inside) is an emergency. We offer priority same-day slots for residents in Hebbal, Vijayanagar, and Rajarajeshwarinagar if booked before 11:00 AM.
