Burst water pipe









Just as we were getting ready for Hari Raya holidays, mum noticed a large amount of water flowing out from the drainage pipe from beneath our porch to the outside drain on the evening of 27 Sep 2008. After some frantic telephone calls, we managed to get Mr Ong to come look at the problem on Mon. Tues to start work but was a rainy day followed by 2 days of Raya holidays so the two 'punctures' (pic 1) to our porch were done on 03 October. First hole was beside the column (pic 2) and the inlet pipe could be seen moving towards the direction of the dividing wall (pic 3) where the second hole was created and the leaking pipe found and replaced (pic 4), whew. The water pipes were entrenched 11 inches deep. Cost of 'punctures' and pipe repair RM200, filling and patching work FOC with compliments of Mr Ong, thank you very much
