Water Leakage From Ceiling

[requiem2104 0]

I have recently been noticing water continuously seeping from one of my walls all the way down from the ceiling of my apartment.

Would like to identify the source of the leak. Can any one recommend a contractor/water proofing specialist who would be able to identify the leak without hacking my walls quickly?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Gen, I just saw your post. Are you staying in a a HDB unit or a private condo? If it's a HDB unit, then you contact HDB. If it is a private condo, and you still need a leakage specialist you could try IGM Maintenance PL, tel 64816634. You could also engage a PUB- licensed plumber to check. If the leak is from the ceiling it is either a common pipe under the jurisdiction of the MCST or from your upstairs neighbour.  So get your Condo Officer to come and check it first with his technical people. Once it is  determined that it is not an MCST pipe, he can help to contact the upstairs neighbour who should come and check, with his own plumber. If your upstairs neighbour is uncooperative, you could file an application to the Strata Title Board for mediation.  Hope this helps.

• Annually inspect your roof and re-tar or use roof cement around plumbing vents, attic dormer vents, chimneys and anything that protrudes through the roof. Annual maintenance in the spring, summer or fall helps to prevent wintertime leaks.
