Count-Bracula Twincharged May 13, 2015 Share May 13, 2015 If I'm the owner, even after clean up, I wouldn't want to stay in the same place anymore. Would rather rent another apartment while waiting to sell off the affected unit. next time buy resale flat in Punggol must ask one question: "This place ever kena sai eruption before?" * sniff sniff * Sai mat kong (Cantonese) . . . of course owner will never admit if happened before Ehhhh . . so gayish. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustank Hypersonic May 13, 2015 Share May 13, 2015 (edited) http://news.asiaone.com/print/news/singapore/couples-sewage-disaster-new-punggol-bto-flat-explodes-online Couple's sewage disaster in new Punggol BTO flat explodes online Wednesday, May 13, 2015 - 10:12 Joanna Seow Jalelah Abu Baker The Straits Times SINGAPORE - Just a week before a young family was due to move into their new home in Punggol, they were shocked to hear from the Housing Board on Monday that there had been flooding in their unit. When they arrived, they found it was not just water that covered the floor of the flat, but faeces as well. Cement had choked the common sewage pipe shared by their seventh floor unit and those above it in Block 313C Sumang Link, causing a backflow into their home. The owner, who gave her name as Ms Fadilah, 31, said she and her husband are "upset, stressed and angry". "The dream house we have long waited to move into, which was complete with new furniture, was damaged just like that," she said. The renovations had been completed just a few months ago. Photographs circulating online show faeces and murky water covering the floor of a toilet, hallway and living room. It had even seeped into the children's bedroom and out of the front door. This was how a neighbour noticed something was amiss and called HDB last Friday, said another neighbour, Ms Fadhilah, 29. A Pasir Ris-Punggol Town Council spokesman said it was alerted by HDB on Monday morning. Town council and HDB staff went to the flat to help the family to clean up. Confirming it was renovation debris that had caused the choke, he said: "We will be working with the HDB to find the culprit." Ms Fadilah told evening daily Shin Min that when her husband turned up at their flat in Sumang Link, he was confronted with what she described as a "giant toilet bowl". "My husband was so shocked that he just stood at the doorway crying. He couldn't believe what he was seeing," she said. The family had spent some $50,000 on renovations alone, and intends to redo the whole house, including all the flooring which had stains between the tiles. A stench still lingered. Ms Fadilah, who works in sales, said they have to be very careful about hygiene as they have small children and a newborn baby. The family of five had been living with her parents and planned to move into the new flat after the baby's first month, evening daily Shin Min Daily News reported yesterday. At the unit yesterday, disinfectant could be smelt from outside the flat. Most of the surrounding units in the 13-month-old block appeared to be occupied. Ms Fadhilah, the neighbour, said Ms Fadilah's husband had cleaned the flat all Monday. "They are quite sad," she said. The town council spokesman said that he understood Ms Fadilah's family was planning to claim compensation. "When we receive the claim we will submit it to an insurer for processing." Ms Fadilah said they are waiting for their interior designer to check the damage. "We hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible," she said. "We really hope we are able to celebrate Hari Raya at our house in July with our family and friends." Edited May 13, 2015 by Mustank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of stench stick on wood floor or furniture will never go away no matter how many rounds u scrub with dettol. The bacteria will deposit and breed in the cracks. I'll just set fire to my house and walk away. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karoon Turbocharged May 13, 2015 Share May 13, 2015 Cement had choked the common sewage pipe shared by their seventh floor unit and those above it in Block 313C Sumang Link, causing a backflow into their home. Report not very precise. I'm sure what it meant is cement blocked the common sewage pipe from 6th floor upwards. The water pressure from sewerage pipe couldnt flow down and looked for discharge. For a 22 storey flat thats about 5 bar pressure build up (pub potable water pipe pressure only 2 bar). Literally shit hitting the fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
