According to HDB the mould was likely caused by too much water on the wall through excessive washing and keeping the windows closed
The dark smudges found on the wall of a Singaporean tenant’s HDB flat less than a month ago was caused by water. After filing a report, HDB confirmed that there was mould.“Our investigation of the flat…. indicated that the mould was likely caused by the wall coming into excessive contact with water during the washing of the flat without it being allowed to dry properly.
“We will be meeting the resident to discuss how best to remove the mould from the walls. If necessary, we will arrange for the building contractor to replace the affected wall on a goodwill basis,” HDB spokesperson added. “We have not received similar feedback from other residents in the precinct. To keep the walls in good condition, residents are advised not to wash dry walls with excessive water, and to use a damp cloth to remove any dirt and stains instead. For good ventilation, they should keep their windows open after washing the floors,” was the advice from HDB.
Dear HDBI just took my key less than a month, not even started my renovation yet and i m shock to see this inside my unit. Please explain to me why?#tampines greenridges
