Neighbors report serious leakage problems

Inhabitant Mrs. Zhou, 78, contacted Shin min daily news To report that a unit on the 12th floor of Block 93 on the Whampoa Drive had become a garbage house with unbearable smell.

She explained that in November last year she noticed water that dripped from her dining room. “After looking, we found that the drainage tube had started,” she said.

By February of this year, her kitchen ceiling began with the development of mold. The following month, the water started from its living room ceiling with the withdrawal of color. The leaky spots even became black!

“The leaky water smells terrible. I used a bucket to collect it and sniff it – it stinks,” she added.

The authorities enter into when the problems deteriorate

For safety reasons, Ms. Zhang removed the ceiling light of the living room to avoid electrical problems.

“I have constantly reported to the authorities in the past few months. I recently went up to find the older woman, but she denied everything and claimed that she did not switch on any taps. So how could there be leakage?”

She mentioned that she lived in the apartment for 17 years without knowing that the unit was a garbage house until it recently got up because of the leakage problem.

At first she did not want someone to enter their apartment for cleaning, but after she had learned the symptoms, she reluctantly allowed the authorities to inspect.

“If you think it's dirty, I can clean up slowly, but you cannot clarify things directly. I'm afraid, many valuable objects will disappear.”
