Hi everyone, this is just a friendly reminder to all the new owners for HDB BTO.

" Please check all the floor traps and even the 40mm basin drain pipe for any debris or hardened cement BEFORE your Reno start ! "

Well, I have overlooked this Important step and ended up clearing this **** at my own cost. This is not just simply digging the **** with my bare hands, the worst consequence is that we may even end up having to cut the pipe from the unit below because of the hardened cement ! So new owners, to avoid tearing the newly built kitchen cabinet, please remember to do a check before your reno starts! Hdb will just reply you - We are NOT responsible for that ! See photos below for the things which I have digged out apart from the cement ... Balance PVC pipes Where these came from if it is not from hdb ?

gosh..... didn't expect HDB can have this kind of problem.

thanks for reminding.

This is terrible for a new flat. Who will expect drainage to be blocked?

HDB is getting worse...

wonder how many ppl suffer e same issue..

My friend staying in Hougang (new flat) also got his drainage choked 2 times... Very bad

Thanks for sharing! Didn't know such thing can happen...

Hi,

can check how to check if any drain blockage?
open the pipes? put your hands in?
or pour water in?

kindly advise... Thanks!

Gold digging - good! -exercise your hands, makes your mind work!

Just bring this up for all new BTO Owner....Please check your floor trap before your reno start!!
