first relocate the account pipe....and hack over my neighbour unit...seal back and ask my painter to paint whole wall... second, just today....drill up for wiring and drive the above unit water pipping...the water pipe is using pb pipe..is black color...not pvc or abs... got a hole there, the wiring man patch back using big strong plaster....need to wait until tomolo only dry....i really worry if it still leaking...  by the way, can the big strong plaster solve the problem?
