Apollo 1st Gear October 29, 2007 Share October 29, 2007 yup, share cost, 50-50. dun believe pls, just call HDB/ town council to confirm. plumber? nah... get town council go his flat and check. but ... take foto now for evidence of leak and extent of damage. must b sure is a plumbing issue and not waterproofing.

Ahhuat 1st Gear October 29, 2007 Share October 29, 2007 i dare anyone to doubt me on this.. go to ur MP.. get letter sent to HDB HDB will pay 50% you and the upstairs will share half of the remaining 50% as in each of you pay 25%. end of story when ur pipe leaks to the guy below.. u pay 25% of his costs.. and the story goes on.

Comfy 1st Gear October 29, 2007 Share October 29, 2007 out of courtesy, u should inform upstairs first. get a plumber to check. cost depends, private housing and HDB is different. HDB is 50/50 while private is to be paid by whoever causes it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osiris 1st Gear October 30, 2007 Share October 30, 2007 Not sure true or not but heard from friend a case where the sewage pipe leak. The top guy very kuai lan refuse to share saying it's not his problem - i don't have a leak, the leak is at your place, you pay & fix it. Instead of sueing, the bottom guy have one last discussion with the top guy and his plumber. The top guy very adamant. The bottom guy conceded and told his plumber, okay seal the damn pipe. No more leakage for me, all the sewage will overflow to this guy's bathroom. the sh1t overflow is not my problem, the overflow is at his place, he have to pay & fix it. In the end they share the cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
