danard 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2011 Hi all,Just bought my 40yr old 3 room flat. Recently found out that the ceiling near my kitchen extension is leaking. HDB had come for inspection last week. Just wonder if there is any good solution to help fix this while waiting for HDB to investigate the upstair flat. Does anyone know roughly the cost of fixing this problem? Now very worried as HDB told me that this will be a shared cost. Please help give some advice if you come across this problem before. Thank you very much.

Seabass 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2011 For my case, there were wet patches seen near the ceiling in the common toilet and the kitchen pipe.. The HDB officer came to take a look.. Less than 3 weeks later, I received a letter from HDB, to authorise the repair and in my case, inform me of the estimation cost..HDB will pay 50%, my neighour on top of my unit and I 25% each... My flat is a 3NG.. The cost (in my case, the common toilet) is estimated to be $800 and I am supposed to pay $200 (maximum)...I replied them last month and I have not moved into my house yet, so I am not sure, if they have started the reno yet or not...

danard 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2011 I haven't moved in as well. My house's now under renovation. Very disturbing to see the water dropping 24/7 from the ceiling. HDB guy told me 2 days ago that it should be the upstair washing machine pipe that caused problem and the owner upstair should fix it. They seemed not solving the problem yet. Water's still dropping like rainfall till today. Should complain directly to the owner tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
