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?

QUOTE(JinXXX @ Aug 5 2011, 11:07 AM) my advise use PUTTY and NOT CEMENT TO PATCH/COVER IT just incase you need to fix it next time.. don't know how big the hole...normal drill to wiring screw...just curious how big of a hole was the hole ? a normal 8mm drillbit made that hole ? i think 6mm... what u mean use putty? they say need to cement back to give the pressure to the pipe... will cement back after 1 week...if no more leaking This post has been edited by xSean: Aug 5 2011, 11:14 AM |

QUOTE(birain @ Aug 5 2011, 12:24 PM) pray your water pipe have low water pressure or else you need to replace the whole water pipe. check your wall for water stain. i don't know it low water pressure...but i think around medium....the best solution is to use connector but a lot of messy work...now i also very headache about this |
