Near the kitchen & dinning area, it got water mark at the roof wall, and it seem got water leaking.

When go out and can feel the cold and some water. No choice but i open fan 24x7 now.

Also, i got go up and ask the tenant, found no water pipe or water.... very weird...

any experience to share??

Wasn't really much of an experience, but this seem like rain water were absorbed by the outer wall and the water flowed through the wall and appear at the ground floor ceiling.

Thank for the reply... Should not be rain water...because this wall is inside the house whereby no outer wall.... Called the management and see any outcome...


The picture is showing the roof area. And i stay at condo.

you staying highest floor ?

no, still have one more unit above me.

check if any internal consealled water pipes, check if the wall near toilet, it could be toilet fr upper floor, check upper floor what they put up there, building a mini fish pond or what. you never know.

i have seen ppl use thier balcony and use it as a fish pond! The pressure of water forced the water to the floor concrete.

what is below of the leaking area? is that Kitchen zink? any tap?
Because Kitchen area normally should have piping need the wall area and link to other part of the wall.
You could imaging yourself as your unit design are similar to the unit above yours and what the possiable cause...

Ok, tonight i go up and check what they are doing there...

If there is hidden tap or pipe, only the manament can tell...

Friend, look at your own unit, you than could imaging where those pipe is, because no one will renovation and moved Condo piping...too risk and control by agreement.

the management said, there are hidden pipe inside... mostly leaking from thr

And, it is inside the house. I need to settle with my own....

But this is the unit above you given problem right?

Yes. Afraid they dun want to take responsibilities....

If not mistake, you could ask them to fix else can sue them. Check the condo agreement or act...

This is malaysia la. We live on tree. If someone pee on you below that is your problem. Sue them cost thousands and repair costs hundreds. Be logical or emotioal. Now this is emotional...I have a condo and the unit about the bathroom leaking to my bathroom and I have a monkey living up there. Calling him you get scolding and shout none of his shit, and said it was the developer who did not built it properly and hang off. You see I got a monkey that speaks, can talk one. and this monkey dont pay maintenance fee! He dont even allow me/management to repair it free for him! So have to wait and hope that he die soon!!!

For water pipe it might be easy to talk. Tell them that they are wasting water and eventually the wall will weaken and collapse. There is no way to escape, must repair. Best is to get the management maintenance to be involved. Instead of you get them to contact him. By the way, do you pay maintenance fee? 50% dont pay in medium cost apartment. 80% in high cost. Low cost none pay. If you dont, forget about it, the management is not going to help you.

Good idea bro~

Just checked. they saidis not water leaking from main pipe... Because if it is, the condition would be even worst.

Unit above renovated, and create some extra pipe for washing machine and sink...So, the contractor said, 80% is leaking there - because the water leaking is not significant increase when raining day.

The place where washing machine located compare to the leaking part is consider not nearby... wondering how true it is. Let see how is going on this thursday...

btw, we agree it s 50-50, even it is 100% the unit above's false.

thats great, at least they will bear some responsible for that

But if is piping connection issue, that the leak should continues instead of stop or they also lay hole (water exit) as well? So as and when washing happen, the water exit to some leaking point?

Look like you have a good neighbooh too...keep the relationship...
and Good luck.

may be the problem is the lay hole connection issue...

Since they just renovated and still able to contact the contractor, the contractor should be responsible to them(and you) and fix it for free for job not done properly.
