Water Seepage

[whalemann 0]

Hi there, I am new here and seeking some advice on water seepage problem that I have facing currently. I am living in an old HUDC in the east, just bought the place couple a months back. Started seeing signs of water seepage at just one spot about a month back then it stoped. I did not make anything of it. Then 3 months later the seepage got worse, it started to leak everywhere in my kitchen area. Went to the management and infomed them of my problem. Was told that the neighbour above me does not stay there anymore.

They contacted her, but she has refused to come back to solve this problem. They had also send her a official letter asking her to contact me to resolve this matter, she still has refused.

I called her and offered to resolve this matter amicably, however she went balistic and started shouting at me. Now I am at my wits end.

Leekage is getting bad. It leaked into my kitchen lights just the other day and tripped the whole house.

Please advice, what I can do.....?

What did your neighbour say when you mentioned that she went ballastic? What did you say when you offered to resolve the matter amicably?

If your neighbour is not staying there, she would not be turning on the tap. If that doesn't happen, then the leak could be the problem of a leaking pipe. This is quite probable as the place is old.

You can do two things. One is to go hardball and engage a lawyer to force your case. Another is to offer her a reno to her flooring and do a water proofing free of charge for her. If you want to offer her the latter, it is better you get someone else to communicate with her as she is already pissed off with you.

Don't you think you should fix it before your whole house gets flooded?

She is the kind that never gives you the opportunity to talk, she just went on and on throughout the phone conversation, blaming me for buying the house, threating to sue me, and saying that I had collobrated with the previous owner. Man I don't know where she got hose ideas.

I did offer her the opportunity that I can foot the bill for her part and mine as well, if she is unable to do it. She refused. She has not been living there for many years, and you are right the leakage is due to a pipe leakage from her neighbour house into her's. And that neighbour also offered to help but she has refused.

I did check with the the previous owner of my currnet place, he also faced similar problems with her. In the end he fixed up his ceiling by doing pressure grouting that lasted for two years. She just refuses do anything.

I did a check with the management, NEA came to her house, with a court order, because there were complaints of mosquitos breeeding due to the water stillness. They managed to get in and sprayed tones of insecticide to rid of any breeding possiblities

I am thinking of going hardball. It it mentally and physically very draining. Any good lawyer to recommed?
