How to spot Plumbing Issues and Diagnose them Efficiently
For many of us staying in Singapore, we are blessed with an effective sewage system that keeps unhygienic wastes out of sight and unwanted bacteria at bay. However, these systems are susceptible to wear and tear and improper handling or usage. That is when plumbing nightmares begin.
We have put together some of the worst plumbing experiences gathered from online sources and past experiences.
Case 1: Clogged Pipes – Foul Murky Water, anyone?
Happened in 2016, the poor family had to bear with the strong stench for two days as the filthy water escaped from the pipe that was clogged in the bathroom. The murky water was soon seen to cover the entire three-room floor and the family had to contact the town council for immediate help to rectify the issue.
Case 2: BTO Renovation Nightmare
Underlying sewage problems do not just happen to old faulty pipes. This young family had just moved in to their newly renovated dream home, a BTO in Sumang, only to find out that their whole unit was covered with faeces after the common sewage pipe was choked with cement and renovation debris from other units!
