kevynq 2 Report post Posted January 15, 2014 Hi everyone, this is just a friendly reminder to all the new owners for HDB BTO. " Please check all the floor traps and even the 40mm basin drain pipe for any debris or hardened cement BEFORE your Reno start ! "Well, I have overlooked this Important step and ended up clearing this **** at my own cost. This is not just simply digging the **** with my bare hands, the worst consequence is that we may even end up having to cut the pipe from the unit below because of the hardened cement ! So new owners, to avoid tearing the newly built kitchen cabinet, please remember to do a check before your reno starts! Hdb will just reply you - We are NOT responsible for that ! See photos below for the things which I have digged out apart from the cement ... Balance PVC pipes Where these came from if it is not from hdb ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
