Actually stay hdb top floor will kenna rain water leaks.

[weiess]

[titusilvering]

So thick leh the concrete. If got lay tiles leh?

Mean the concrete floor already 偷工减料。then the reno guy lay tiles also cut cement etc.

But stay below others might kenna corpse water? So which one is better?

The rooftop will leak when water proofing fail
If higher floor was 15 floor then will kena first
Below floor will kena later if floor was wet go through lower floor,the minor problem only have water stain or water seepage

The living room ceiling HDB never do water proofing work except toilet and kitchen do only

Please lah. My mom's staying up top floor for over 20 years. Simi water leak? TC carries out roof waterproofing every 10 years.

Even if got is tc responsiblitity to solve it unlike if your top floor neighbour act blurr refuses to cooperate to cough out half the cost to solve it while you cough out the other half.

No nonsense upper floor neighbours stomping on the ceiling

Try to avoid those with 4G or 5G mobile tower on rooftop, if not high chance of cancer mutation

Yes, water can seep through a cement floor because concrete is porous, not waterproof. The main causes are hydrostatic pressure from water buildup against the foundation, cracks in the concrete, and poor drainage around the building. Other factors include plumbing leaks or a high water table.

Yes, water can seep through cement tile, especially at the grout lines, which are often more porous and can deteriorate over time. Factors like cracked tiles, improper sealing, and a poor subfloor installation can all allow water to penetrate, leading to moisture problems in walls and floors.

You read about the blood water news. They say the water proofing of the floor or ceiling gone

My parents stay top floor 12th storey flat.

After 20th year mark starts to encounter leaking issue. Town council will only try to fix the leak and not any damage to your house.

If they tried all their usual methods to fix and still cannot find the leakage then good luck to you.

Our house carpentry, cornice all got damaged by the leaks.

My hdb flat is on the top floor. Have to monitor rooftop water tank for leakage to my unit from the kitchen and bedroom ceiling.

old or newer hdb? really got leak down?

 

[jericho75]

Over time will have ceiling spalding. Need to pay TC to replaster.

i think some areas on the ceiling no matter how u paint months later water patch will appear then paint starts dropping.

 

[jericho75]

I'm disappointed that my top floor unit don't have higher ceiling

only the toilets don't have waste water pipe.

why so special one?

 

[undiscern]

depending on the hdb design
i saw some the ceiling is not directly the floor of the roof....there is another structure so heat may not be an issue

Then might leak due to corpse, could be worker died unnoticed.

anything besides the top unit then if the person above u up lorry then might have corpse water issues if up lorry person was not discovered early.

tiagonk those top floor dwellers, the water flow (pressure) will be much more stronger than the ones below

but not until to that trickle level if 'cos

Top few floors water pressure sucks big time
