I dunno how your piping work, but usually the pipe will not go so near with the drainage pipe...

Old condo pipe some are pipe go from ground and go up.. some are from up to down..

But for ur case, maybe u ask for drawing from management..
And usually condo unit pipe rarely burst one la... usually la
If there is a burst, the leak will be very powerful and spread round round area watermark one.. i dunno for ur case la.

Best option now is do PU injection and hope it works..
If dun works, then only do hacking..

Correction

Actually the following combination is con9lan7haifirm to leak one:

Blue ABS pipe + condo

Cause condos actually sway around to due to wind load if you’re not noticing. Next the blue ABS pipe aged worse than yesterday’s milk, it’s brittle and subject to cracks or leaks if used in condo (landed also not anywhere better).

If pipe burst then hack the wall is the choice.


Condo all pipe is in the wall.

Correct. In this case. Management will be the facilitator. Given the leak is your side, you will need to foot the bill.

Ok. At least I pay with black & white support.

Not much less than RM 400. to fix the leaking & replace some part of affected plaster ceiling. The longer u delay the repair the bigger the affected area and u will need to pay more

So cheap! You meant injection, right? As my case , do you think injection works?

Another UPDATE:
Contractor just came to inspect this morning. And he reminded me about water bill, once check, Alamak... From 10 raised up to 28! Which means the pipe of the water source leakage!

Still, while turned of the valve of the bathroom, and without using water the whole unit, meter still running! So it's quite confirm of the Pipe inside the water leaking. Further more, the toilet is using Blue Pipe (they called it pipe hantu 🤣).

Btw, to ensure it's, they'll came tomorrow for "pressure test". Otherwise, the possibility might be bathtub drainage connectors leaking.

Update you guys then 😊

water leaking is the most tedious to check.
my above unit neighbour house also leaking water to my ceiling.
Took almost a year, management people + 2 contractors to find the exact cause.
done water proofing, PU injection and finally the cause is air-con piping leaking.

Yes, pull install pipes outside. I don't care about the beauty of appearance anymore, the key is I can reach the pipes and work on it if there's any problems in future (even I can pull for extended pipe from it if needed then). I even don't want to cover it with casing...hahaha ... Ugly?!

Just keep complaining, if you got find a few more neighbors feedback to management is better! My place's car park also having such issue, management solved it immediately with 3 injections! Maybe that's a "warranty" from the contractor whom just renovated the swimming pool?!

Ya lo, but no problem la, even casing also dust will stay on it, haaa...

So, if tomorrow confirmed is the Blue Pipe problem, how much (around) to install the pipe (pull from the source which at above plaster ceiling) for a Condo Master Bedroom Toilet/Bathroom? And what material should I go for? Contractor did mention PVC, COPPER, STAINLESS STEEL... (To me, those normal grey pipes will do, as long as thick enough)

Good quality grey color pvc pipe will do.. make sure they seal the join properly to avoid joint leaking

Stainless steel will be expensive

That's why I wouldn't apply the Hack & Replace method. Just right away pull from the main supply (reached my toilet ceiling, exposed), then connect from there and Piping to all around the toilet like toilet bowl!

In this case, without hacking, how much will be cost?
