Sump Cleaning and Drainage Cleaning Services in Bangalore
Underground sumps collect the most sediment of any tank in the building, especially where water arrives by tanker or borewell. Reshma Facilities Management cleans sumps and drainage systems for apartments across Bangalore with vacuum desludging, scrubbing and disinfection.
Sump cleaning
Tanker water brings in sand and silt with every load. Over a few months a thick layer settles on the sump floor, and every time the pump runs it sends some of it up to the overhead tanks.
Step | What happens |
|---|---|
Drain | Water pumped out, inlet closed |
Desludge | Sludge removed by vacuum pump |
Scrub | Walls and floor scrubbed |
Wash | High-pressure wash |

Blocked drains in an apartment are rarely a one-time event. We clear the blockage and then look for the cause, whether grease, roots, a sagging line or construction debris.
Safety
Manholes and sumps are confined spaces. Our staff use gas checks, safety harnesses and trained supervision. Manual scavenging is illegal and we do not use it. Drain cleaning is done with machines and suction equipment.
