Water Tank Fitting & Cleaning
Tanki Fitting (Water Tank) in Dehradun
Sintex overhead, underground sump and pump-line work — Doon Valley's most common tank job, done right.
Overview
Honest, local context — written by working Doon plumbers.
Water supply in Dehradun is reliable but rationed — 4-hour morning and evening windows in most localities. That makes the overhead tank the single most important piece of plumbing in your home. We've installed every common size from 500L to 5000L across rooftops in Rajpur Road, Vasant Vihar, Ballupur and beyond, and we know which brands hold up to the local UV index and which crack in two monsoons.
Common Problems
What we typically fix on this service.
Float valve failure. Brand-original Hindware or Ashirvad replacement lasts 6+ years.
Tank hasn't been cleaned in 12+ months. Full drain, scrub, chlorinate — done in 90 minutes.
Cheap-grade tank. Replace with 3-layer or 4-layer ISI Sintex; we'll buy back the old tank.
Inlet line restriction or low overhead pressure. We pressure-test and resize the inlet if needed.

Both lines pressure-tested at 6 bar with the tank in place.

Tanks are buy-once-cry-once. Avoid the loose-grade black tanks sold off carts — they discolour water and crack within two Doon monsoons. We stock only ISI-marked Sintex 3/4-layer with full manufacturer warranty.
FAQs
Frequently asked — tanki fitting (water tank).
What size tank for a 3BHK Dehradun home?
1500L–2000L is standard for a family of 4–5. Add 500L if you have a garden or run an AC tower line.

Once every 12 months is the IS guideline. Hotels and PGs should go every 6 months.
Can I install a tank on my own slab?
Up to 1000L on most modern RCC slabs is safe. Anything larger needs a quick load review — we do this free during the site visit.
