ivy 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2009 if it is external wall leakage, you can call Town council to report. They will need to fix the external wall. However do prepare to go through long wait for the rectification to be done. No worries abt the pics. Rest well first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrspiglet 2 Report post Posted June 23, 2009 u r not alone my dear! i've spend more time in mopping and cleaning than the accumulated time for my entire life! But in the end, the effort is worth it. How's ur MBR sink joint? Shd be ok liao right? I had problems staying alone in the house initially, a bit scare scare... purple MBR for me too! But now... its so dark n cosy... i'll just sleep my way thru. Like wat ivy said, if external leakage will have to go town council to report. From my experience, town council works a little faster than HDB. Just a little... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zerochristy 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2009 ivy & mrspiglet Wah.. dun know if you call it a external wall leak or not... cause i think it came thru the window. The windown I have is 1 pic and its swing open type. The leak is from bottom right corner... I think the window edge or corner cannot close tightly (it looks a bit of gap like that... "wob" I dun know how to spell ) to prevent the rain water from coming in. The MBR sink joint okie liao glad its solve my hubby got a hard time seeing its as its a sore eye to him I also sleep alone last night as hubby travelling liao so I alone in 1 big house than I tell my mom to my place.. she stayed for 2 hour and she left lor.

mrspiglet 2 Report post Posted June 24, 2009 its seems possible that the gap between the windows and wall 'widen' thru the years, hence causing the hole. In any case, best bet is to call everyone, town council/HDB... let them determine if they can repair for u. Pray hard u no need to chge windows... its a messy affair to start hacking again. ur VO is a little shocking on the electrical portion. I suggest u sit down and grumble on it... see if can have further discounts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After the big rain few days ago it seem like no leak le and I feel the wall and the floor towal mat which i insert at the window gap its dry le. I wonder if my hubby's patching work is good or the wall and floor mat have gone dry when I reach home. But at least I am pretty happy. I will monitor again...
