Need not worry about the PVC pipe. This is not a problem They don't break so easily. Most of the time only worry about choking problem. Clear your mid off the PVC problem... you only need gravity for the overflow to drip down into the drainage pipe, so you can either just allow the overflow to drip onto the yard floor or make a pvc tube from the cut-off valve to the drainage pipe on the yard floor. The overflow is quite negligible, so you don't really need to install a pipe. , the overflow is caused by the expanding water when it is heated up, and is expelled through the cut-off valve on the cold water pipe. Just imagine this PVC like the one you use in air con .... they don't cause pool of water You will find fungi like on your wall only if the PVC pipe really leaks. Open drainage hole, you will find your PVC there sticking out. If really there is a lot of excess water, you can see em thorugh here with those gurgling sound. Just like the drainage hose from your washing machine to the drainage pipe.

For landed, it is also wise before you pen the agreement to get this buster along to access your damage, especially older ones. Control will start from the gound right up to your ceiling. Termites can bring down your house, deco, furnitures.... tiny but scary

Oops...I edit to copper liao .... Copper, got 2, (cold /hot) both with water pressure cause pool of water. Copper goes to both shower/wash basin. Thus not underneath the floor. PVC, for condense water drainage, no pressure. Goes underneath your floor to you drain hole. When I say turn off the water heater outlet, (Not the one you use for shower) There should be a on/off valve up you ceiling both for the hot and cold water. If you need to change heater, they will off this 2 valve. Actually, you should save money, just direct new stainless steel pipes from your ceiling to the mixer. By the way, you still wanna conceal, no point tracing the leakage. Even you repair this point. It might appear somewhere again. Perhaps, you should just install new conceal pipe from your ceiling direct to your mixer... Haiz.... spend so much money.. must repair wall and tile up also .... This plumber... see you stay private... just come and whack you right. says if hack more wall, charge more ... Oh... if you have built in cupboard behind that wall or your parquet floor may be infested by termites........ okay lah dont scare you

Har ?

The plumber is right, I had this problem before. If leaks from the PVC, you will only see patches of water trace marks. PVC is dripping water, but for copper, you see pool of water. What you can do is trouble shooting. Start troubleshooting. First, turn off the water heater outlet, of course you can still use the cold water. Check leakage the next day. Assuming there is still leakage the next day, then it must be the PVC cold water outlet. Mine was the leak in the hot water outlet. I knew hacking cost would be horrendous. Thus, I get the plumber to cut the conceal pipe from the ceiling to do anther direct pipe to my shower mixer. Exposed only from the ceiling to my mixer. Cost me $180 for stainless steel pipe installation.

I study his writing pattern...... guess what ? like yours leh... got theory, got moral, maybe invisible hand coming haha

Wah... SLA chiong your FH land last time, good deal or not ? By the way, only for FH landed, provided you fully paid up. Not applicable for FH condo cos many owner still on mortgage loan and house belongs to the bank

Ka, this one last year news le

Can sell your X number of lease to expats, or owner who dream to owning landed without wanting to pay for the whole tenure, subject to SLA approval and some legal work. "Maybe you are stting on 3 or 4 Semi-detaches or Bungalows, you can’t really lease it out to get a good cashflow and yet you don’t want to sell it as you may not be able to buy another property in a similar good location and you need to grow your business." This is the scenario, this should appear beginning of the write up. Now, you can sell one or two of your Semi-detaches as leasehold while you maximise and free up capital and at the same time share in the upside the land can possibly provide. For Singapore property buyers, it means that more and more property developers will likely get in on the strategy to retain the freehold title while selling developments as Strata title leasehold. Freehold land may gradually disappear into the hands of the well funded and rich property developers. Property developers buys Free Hold land and releases it as lease hold

Termites gain access to our home through the walls. They like moist and dark areas. Just call http://www.rentokil-initial.com/ .... think about $120. per visit. They will screen your whole house and sprinkle some powder. Termites will carry this powder to their nest and kill the whole colony. For landed property, this is a must before any reno.

Good News for Singapore Property Owners with Freehold land or 999 lease hold land Singapore land authority has clarified that “Common Law provides that a smaller interest in land can be carved out from a larger interest in land, with the registered propietor/develop retaining a reversionary interest.” This means that you can possibly sell your landed property on a 99 years lease or any numbers of years lease as you deem fit if you sort out the legal paperwork. This would mean that you will be able to pass on wealth to your descendants while selling properties while retaining the reversionary rights to freehold land. Maybe you are stting on 3 or 4 Semi-detaches or Bungalows, you can’t really lease it out to get a good cashflow and yet you don’t want to sell it as you may not be able to buy another property in a similar good location and you need to grow your business. More applicable for FH house

This is the 13th HUDC that had been confirm for privatised, so price may increase by at least 10%. I also felt the 200k (20%). A bit high, I might chiong if 50k. Good location and amenities. Enbloc potential very high as compare to Hougang or Potong Pasir. Braddell had been on hold as they are uncertain which date to use as it is built in different phases. http://www.mnd.gov.sg/newsroom/newsrelease...s30072010_2.htm

Mine also kena the >11k group, Total loss for 3 boys =$450. My completion also, 30/12/2009

Need to identify the actual cause first, need to trouble shoot one by one. Whether it is air con pipe, drainage pipe leak/block. Amps not enough or hardware malfunction or setting not right.

LOL .... so comical

Guess the seller also caught in this last minute thingy situation lah. Seller may have to fork the agent some token fees, application for POA and worst of all .. lost the trust of a helpful friend , who also suffer in this dilemma. Sometimes I feel better when I think of "what if I were in their shoes" would I have done the same thing. Just like when my kids results isn't so to your expectation. Ask yourself, have you play your part too. You will see the picture clearer, understand better and handle your thoughts and emotions in the right way

LOL .... nicely written.... anymore for difference between complete/finish/over/end
