HDB bad workmanship :(

[1sickpuppy II]

Just moved into my new 4rm pegion hole for 2 weeks and already found so many defects in my new home :(
1) Water pipe joining cracked and burst in the middle of the nite . Have to wait till 2pm the next day for them to come and fix it . ( Best part is they ask if they can come 1 week later. I ask them back can I go to her home and bathe)

2) Part of the new window fell off ( less than 2 weeks after moving in )

3) Bathroom Tiles crack and fell off within the 1st week. They got the cheek to tell me my contractor did it when its those tiles that they mount the standard HDB shower heads. Best is when they come to fix they discover that only got a bit of cement sticking the tiles and below its all hollow.

4) The cloth hanging fixture before I can use it its already spoil. 1 pull one side comes down the other side stuck have to have them fixed it b4 I even move in :(

So my advice to all bros out there check your new pegion hole properly.

<TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=530 align=center><TBODY><TR><TD>Now I know why ceiling of my HDB flat leaks -- it's made of styrofoam

​

STOMPer Sanjeev found the ceiling in the toilet of his HDB flat at Block 604 Yishun St 61 crumbling and leaking water. He was shocked to discover styrofoam stuffed into the ceiling.

Said the STOMPer:

"The ceiling of my HDB home toilet just crumbled. I discovered that there was styrofoam in the cement structure of my toilet ceiling.

"It was the reason for the leaks that we have been living with for so many years. The spaces in between the cement in my ceiling has been stuffed with styrofoam.

"How and to what extent has the contractors who built this HDB unit used this shoddy and sloppy method?

"To me, this is a structural defect.

"I reported this to the HDB Yishun Branch office and they sent a technical officer one Mr Yeo.

"It was an unprofessional assesment at the least.

"He checked the hole in the wall and said it was spalling concrete.

"I then asked him why there was styrofoam in my ceiling and whether styrofoam is a legal and allowed building material?

"He avoided my question and went on to say, 'Its like that one. Last time they used to do that'.

"I again asked him is it allowed? He still did not answer me. After much pressure he admitted that it is not allowed.

"I told him I wanted an explanation on why styrofoam was used as a construction material.

"He finally gave in and said you should speak to me supervisor. I told him that it would be helpfull if he could provide a number or get his superior to contact us.

"To date, there was no such thing except a template reply asking us to share the cost and that the leaks were due to fair wear and tear.

"How can styrofoam in the building structure be fair wear and tear? I am totally disappointed with HDB's professionalism.

"Safety is another question, how safe is my ceiling? I cannot use my toilet knowing that there was shoddy construction and that it might collapse on me.

"I feel that HDB should address the actual problem and make due repairs without pushing it to the residents."
