Due to the improper water proofing done in my toilet, it has caused some leakage to the unit below of the condominium I'm staying.
I have received quotation ranging from RM1,100-1,300 to use some chemical injection at the unit below, giving warranty of half a year to one year.
May I know whether this price is reasonable? Any other good recommended contractors which can offer a better rate or service? icon_question.gif

The quotation was given by the condominium management? Is better to consult them 1st rather than getting 3rd party contractors.

Yes, it's given by the condominium management. I tried asking 3rd party contractor, and they are quoting me higher price.

iceQ, please dont waste ur money on the injection. it doesn't work. u only waste ur time and money and doesn't solve the problem. i should know, me and my upstairs neighbour tried it all before, doesn't work. it only pushes the leakage to another place, and pretty soon u will hv 2-3 place leaking. even worse!!

the only solution is, u ask contractor to come and hack ur tiles up, re-waterproof it, and then tile it back again. that's a permanent solution, and u dont have to worry about it anymore.

it only cost about rm1,500. plus materials, labour and tiles. Get a few contractors in (don't rely on management one only). It is a bit of hassle, but better u hassle now than hassle later.

good luck!

thanks, will try to call later


Added on February 3, 2012, 4:39 pmHi Adele, I do agree on re-waterproof it. I want a contractor which is trushtworthy. This is the 2nd time I'm fixing this toilet leakage. Last time the contractor came, and help me to re-waterproof it. This lasted only for 3 years, now the issues came back again, but the contractor is no longer reachable.
