droplets 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2008 Hi, Just to check. My mbr toilet's drainage next to the WC has a foul smell since day 1. Initially I thought it was the WC unit but plumber told me it was from the drainage. Anyone had the same problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaCKY777 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2008 sorry for late reply....being really busy working and handling renovations. Let us know if you need help in taking pics of these 'holes' (have a Coolpix that's good for taking pics of small things). I still think you should draft a letter to TC to let them understand your situation (falling debris, window panels chipping, any action from TC, etc), and ask if they can assist to replace the affected window panes. Personally, depending on how big the holes are and the number of holes, these glass panels' structural condition may possibly be compromised over time (with more of such small holes)....maybe only... Also, I think pasting a piece of filter on the outside (rather than the inside, as they normally do for those UV filters) can perhaps act as a 'guard' against small falling debris from above. At least it should reduce any chipping of glass panels, and even if kenna hit by small falling objects, the chipped parts will still 'stay' with the panel.... just my thoughts lah - - aniway, no matter wat, i stil find it its a must 2 report 2 TC. - imagine, 1 day e window pane shatter (touch-wood). How? - who gona bear e replacement cost? - at least end of e day, there is a record at TC dat u'd reported but TC had not taken any precaution or remedy actions. Flats owners shdn't bear e replacement cost fully. Hey Meowie, I found the longer version already. The length is 1m long, i bought it again. If u wanna test just let me know. Its only $3 now, even cheaper. Hehe... - pix lei? - wher u buy? - so cheap, u buy a few more, gif 2 neighbours s hse-warming or door gif lah. - aniway, it wld b perfect if it is extendable. - my aircon ledge kinda long, unless i climb out 2 clear e rubbish. - kitchen ledge? Definitely CANOT climb out. Hi, Just to check. My mbr toilet's drainage next to the WC has a foul smell since day 1. Initially I thought it was the WC unit but plumber told me it was from the drainage. Anyone had the same problem? - did u replace ur existing WC 2 a NEW WC?

Dracula 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2008 so where did you buy it from? thank. Hi, i got it from near my work place at Eunos MRT. - pix lei? - wher u buy? - so cheap, u buy a few more, gif 2 neighbours s hse-warming or door gif lah. - aniway, it wld b perfect if it is extendable. - my aircon ledge kinda long, unless i climb out 2 clear e rubbish. - kitchen ledge? Definitely CANOT climb out. I think the shop only got 2 or 3 left when i got it today. Extendable cannot because inside is spring loaded ah. This one is only for kitchen ledge and living room window ledge. Aircon ledge also not adviseable to climb out, if any "nice" neighbours take photo and send to HDB, be prepared for a big "Ang Pao" in your letterbox ah. Better be safe then sorry. Anyway the pic is below, the shoe does not come with it. Only for measurement purpose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaCKY777 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) Hi Jacky, yes i did a WC replacement.... - same probm s another kakis here. - i was talkin 2 her e other day. She had her WC replaced several times but stil e 'foul smell' is there. - told her, she gota live with it. - base on my limited knowledge, e probm lies in e 'Model' of e WC. Not e sanitary soil & waste discharge stack (vertical pipe). - e discharge stacks r sealed, no foul air wil escape frm within. - e only accessible pts r e 'rodding eye' which r located at e bottom of e 'S'-trap (s-shape piping inside ur concealed duct above). - dis 'rodding eye' r there for clearing of chockage & r tightly screwed. - inside e WC, there is olso dis 'S-trap' thingy. - it works by means of a siphonic action. - e 'S' at e trap is designed in such a way dat e soil/waste water at e bottom wil fil up 2 e top of e 'S'. - dis 'trapped water' acts s a seal 4 foul air 2b kept within e piping. - unlike traditional type of sanitary discharge system, there is an additional small diameter ventilation pipe attached 2 e soil pipe. - dis vent pipe wil eventually vent out at e roof-top. - newer flats no more such vent pipe liao although its e best system. - in ur case, i belief its becos e water in e 'S-trap' is insufficient, dats y e foul air wil escape. - Dunoe u understand wat i meant anot. Its kinda technical. - Mayb i shd go sell WC. Edited July 24, 2008 by jaCKY777 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dracula 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2008 For those whom have not applied for your TV license, you can do it online at MDA Online and click on TV Licence (Residential / Household). From what i gather, all new applicants got to apply on your own the first time then subsequent bills will come with your Income Tax. Otherwise will kena fine and late payment fees ah.
