Overhead Water Tank Installation in Jaipur
Starting from
₹800
About this service
Overhead tank installations on terrace and parapet level — plastic Sintex (500 L to 5000 L) and concrete tanks. We size the tank to family usage (rough thumb: 150 L per person per day), set the inlet float for clean shut-off, run an overflow to a visible point so leaks are caught early, and install isolating valves at outlet and outflow to make future maintenance possible without draining the tank. Tank lid sealing matters — open tanks in Jaipur attract dust and small reptiles.
Common symptoms we see
- Overflow running constantly even at full
- New flat needs an overhead tank installed
- Old concrete tank cracked or seeping
- Need bigger tank as family has grown

Materials we use
Sintex or comparable HDPE tanks, brass ball cocks, brass gate valves on outlet, UPVC pipe for overflow runs.
Typical duration
3–5 hours for a fresh install on existing platform.
Safety & quality
Roof access work — we use anchored ladders and a working platform on the parapet.
Frequently asked questions
What size tank do I need?
Rough rule: 150 L per person per day. A 3-person flat with one bathroom does well on 1000 L.
Black or white tank?
Black resists algae but heats the water in summer; white stays cooler but allows light through. For Jaipur summers we recommend tanks with foam-insulated walls.
How often should the tank be cleaned?
Every 6 months. Sediment from supply water settles fast in Jaipur — half-yearly drain-and-clean keeps it potable.
