Maylam — Sat, 12 Apr 2014 22:38:11 +0800

SSF have built the house below the standard of safety. The leaking have fixed many times, but not permanently. They always come back to fix the same spot of leaking every 3-4 months. The ceiling collapse today, I cannot trust SSF contractor anymore. Thanks gods, when the ceiling collapse nobody is hurt. How could I sue SSF of their shoddy work without consider the safety of the buyer? Can you recommend any lawyer to me or advise the correct procedure.

Be careful to this developer, their after sales device is bad, their building work lots of defects. They don't attend customer complain effectively. Watch out . The government should ask them to close down.

Claim developer

Maylam — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 11:29:33 +0800

I have raised this question in December before.

I rent a house to a Korean tenant , they move in in August 2012. After move in a week, the subsidence of the kitchen wall had caused the water pipe broken, and water running to the ground without any sign, just affect the water supply. the developer inspected the house and fixed it. Today, the tenant show me a water bill, the meter reading as RM698 for 4 months, in average RM174 per month.

At last, the tenant just willing to pay RM100 per month and would like to claim the developer RM298 for the excess water bill charges.
In this situation, the developer have the responsibility for their shoddy work?

What is the cost to fix water leaking

Maylam — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 04:14:53 +0800

I bought a brand new home from SSF developer. I complaint the 2nd floor toilet leaking, cause we can see the ceiling at 1st floor water dripping. 1st make complaint, they send contractor here, he and said the hot water tank leaking. So I ask hot water tank supplier to repair, but they said the water tank is fine no leaking, is the floor leaking. So I paid Rm100 for their checking service.

I call SSF contractor mobile again, he never answer the phone.Then I send a email to their management , the management replied the email to promised will rectify the defects. Then they send the same contractor again, he claimed the water tank bolt at the slab had caused the water leaking. ( excuse me, why last time u said the water tank leaking? Make me paid RM100 for water tank supplier services) . The message "water tank bolt at the slab , had caused the leaking". Then he is gone ? Never repair .

I email to the management to complain again, he said will ask the contractor to reply. So he did reply with nice photos with the same message

""From the photos captured, we found the water drips from the wall plug and unfortunetly we can't see the length of the screw that have been using to fix the water heater tank which is mounted at the flooring slab. Suspect it has damaged the water proofing coated for that particular bathroom.""

That's it ! No further action.

It's been 1 month, just to get the message "water tank bolt at the slab , had caused the leaking". Complain , and complain again, now he ask for joint inspection. I blur blur now, don't know what he wants? My friends said, just go to the bathroom do the waterproofing again, thats it ! Why inspect so many times? I also need working, my annual leave for holidays, not for fixing defects.

I will conclude , don't buy property from unknown company.

I need professional advice :
1. how to repair water leaking in my situation?
2. Is the bolt causing the leaking?
3. What is the cost to repair it, why SSF developer need to think so long to take action?[attachmentid=3144616][attachmentid=3144616]
