good morning guys, i just moved into my new condo one month ago and few days ago management contacted me saying the house below complaint about water leakage from my unit.

i did not hack the toilet or anything, it is all original from the developer

may i know usually how much it cost to do PU injection?

honestly i dont wan to pay a single sen as this is obviously a defect from the developer side but management say developer wont do anything coz i already signed off the defect form.

so now have to wait and see what does the owner downstairs wan to do

It should be still under the (usual) 2 years DLP, no?

Ahh then it is on your responsibility to fix already.
The more futureproof solution is to hack off all the tiles and redo waterproofing layer and retile (if its leaking from the tiles area).
If its leaking from the WC drain pipe outline (got gap between the drain hole and the drain pipe) then its a smaller fix.

The temp fixes like PU injection or simply redo grout doesn't solve the root cause that allow water to seep in through the untreated floor slab. Then MO or neighbour will ding dong ur doorbell again to complain.

hmm alright, MO say will send specialist to check first after MCO.
the weird part is the leak is on the other side of the wall instead of directly below the toilet tiles.
the layout is like this, behind the living room wall is the toilet, so now the wall that become yellowish is the living room part of the wall not the toilet part of the wall.
im guessing this is more like internal pipe leaking instead of fail waterproofing from the tiles

I face this problem too, not water pipe leak because water bill is low..
It seeps through the wall over time because grout lines not good + waterproofing cement layer of bathroom tiles failed.

If the position is higher than the tiles (if you are half height tiled) it could be pipe leak in your case. Or aircon pipe leak?

Hi, would like to seek opinion / experience from lowyat members.

Recently I noticed that my water meter reading has been running though there is no water usage at home and I have off the tap to tank.

Likely it's due to underground pipe leakage. Is re-piping the only solution?

Thanks

Excessive water usage, leak or otherwise gets exponentially more expensive after the first 35m3. It would depend on the leakage amount and/or current bill amount now.
