QUOTE(lowyat101 @ Mar 13 2019, 05:23 PM) Thanks for the info, but can you explain a bit more about the statement "your leak now is on flooring"? Since you did ponding test, the leak is nothing related to sink .... right? Do you mean there's a leak at the floor slab?   I presumed must be floor related or point where wall meet the floor concrete slab. |

Will wait a few days for the complete floor to dry up first, then grout the few holes I can see, then try to do a ponding test again. |

Screw back the cover and try do the flow test. Thanks, will look for the tool at hardware shop.Can google image for those tool if you not sure.  |

Screw back the cover and try do the flow test. One of the best advice ever, originally there's no plumber tape used for this clear out cover and turning it can be easily done. Gave it with few good rounds of plumber tape and screwing the cover back up took quite an effort after that, felt its air tight now.Can google image for those tool if you not sure. Fingers crossed and monitor for next 24 hours, if its still dry its all good. 👍👍 Note: Thought of hvg nasty stuff dropping out after opening the cover but its surprising clean inside. |
