QUOTE(my_nickleo @ Jan 20 2014, 10:09 AM) Water ponding test is done by seal off the drain hole & flood the bathroom floor. In my case, the developer flood bout 5mm at the highest floor level & bout 4cm at the lowest floor level. 5mm water gone within 1 hour, so I take picture as proof. The next day morning, they secretly come & refill water before joint inspection, this is to make the flood test pass as they claim no water was leak out. The proper way to check water leakage after ponding test is by looking for sign of leakage not the water level reduce or not.If you can spot sign of leakage, then your developer shall repair it , no need to argue on the water level. |

QUOTE(my_nickleo @ Jan 20 2014, 01:44 PM) Water mark already exist after I done my own ponding test, but developer refused to accept my defect complaints. They insist the ponding test must be done by their worker, so I let them do it. But they lied about refilling water prior joint inspection. If there is nothing wrong with the test, why they have to lie about it? If water mark exist, even without ponding test the developer should repair it.Anyhow, it is good to know that your developer have agreed to repair it for you. QUOTE(MANSTIR @ Jan 20 2014, 06:11 PM) 5MM gone in 1 hour (its huge amount of water) then there's no sign of leakage, how we can be assure it will not effecting concreate in a long run? If really 5mm gone in 1 hour and no sign of leakage, probably the reason will be the floor trap is not properly sealed.FYI, if after ponding test there is no sign of leakage then your bathroom not likely will have waterproofing problem as when you use your bathroom, you will not pond it. And i don't think water can affect a proper cured concrete much. |

QUOTE(Like a Bause @ Jan 21 2014, 12:03 PM) is there any ways to check leakage for condo units? i think not all owners, especially those investors would do leakage checking.. Just do a visual checking, look for water mark. Especially during heavy rain day.anyone who is living in condo, could you share your experience when you got your unit? many thanks |

QUOTE(my_nickleo @ Jan 22 2014, 03:29 PM) Developer repaint & redo ponding test, now my bathroom side wall looks like this: Ask them to repair the wall surface and repaint it.Very sad...... Then further monitor for water seepage. And FYI, waterproofing contractor is giving out 10 warranty to the developer. |
