Problem is upstairs not really affected by the seepage. It is downstairs that are affected. If upstairs song song dun repair who suffer? Tricky situation...... Thinking

remember we let HDB comes to conclusion
they have the tools
we do not fancy getting into a civil suit.
we just clean up after the matter settled.

So actually complain to HDB and they will investigate and if found to be true, they will make upstairs rectify?

As long as the process is efficient and transparent, it is good for the government. If not they will lose votes.

We are only leasees NOT owners

HDB should be responsible 100%

and get it fixed at no cost to us

Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

I ever came across a building where the 7th floor leaked and water seeped into 5th floor bypassing the 6th floor. Really very difficult and took a long time to trace and find the source of leak...... Big Grin

Exactly, dun b stupid and repair on your own. Even condo the MCST will help, my MCST ever help me in this type of case for free, I want to pay but they said I already paid maintenance so they will absorb the cost for me.
