I have a problem for the past 2 years, which I have yet to rectify. I have water seepage problem on my wall, and according to my plumber, it is coming from my neighbour upstairs. He said there is no need to remove any tiles or do any major repair works. He assured me that he can solve the problem by simply pumping certain liquid into the wall. I hope it can solve the problem. He is asking RM450 for the repair. Is this a reasonable price to pay?

Pump what ? Ask him to use his d..ck to pump lah.
Water leakage is a headache problem. Have to fix the source ,as water will always find a way to get to you no matter how you block it.

Not sure how it works etc. But he guarantees that the problem will be solved- of course his guarantee has no value.

QUOTE(skng03 @ Jun 23 2011, 06:16 PM) Pool in the ground is okay as any minor leakage is acceptable, nobody will notice. Also,if the ground water table is low, it will not have much pressure to squeeze into any minor defects. Whereas for our bro problem, gravity is always there. Water will find you no matter what you pump. Water can only goes down, never up lah.

Dats da problem with poor workmanship when installing the pipes. To be honest, in my opinion, any solvent, silicon or wateva so called waterproofing is just temporary. Best is still to rectify the piping concealed in the wall.

It is caused by re-tiling of neighbour's toilet floor 2 years ago.

Tiling den god bless lo. Waterproofing is best done when doing concreting of slab. Anything else after that would not be as effective. Final solution, repaint the portion and sell off the house.

i am having the same problem from my neighbour upstairs now ... the slab in his toilet all wet and he is renting to foreign workers where the toilet is overused! ... I spoke to him over the phone once and he seemed enthusiastic enough to resolve the matter but have recently not been replying my smses ...

The contractor came over the weekend. My mistake. He did not inject anything. He scrapped off the wet paint, and applied a layer of cement-like mix onto the surface. I don't know what exactly that mix is, but according to a fellow forumer here, it is cementitious waterproofing. So far so good... Fingers crossed, I hope this will solve my problem. RM350 after negotiation.

If the water leakage is really from your neighbour, then the cementitious water proof membrane should be applied at the source and not on your side...

yup. need to stop the water leakage from the source. Else the water will find another "route" .... so the leakage starts again from another location...
