At least four households living on the top floor of the Jalan Tenaga estate in Bedok have noticed cracks in their flats after the works.SINGAPORE — On the day that contractors started hacking at the roof of Tan's Housing Board block in Jalan Tenaga in October, a roughly 2m-long crack appeared on the ceiling of his top-floor unit.
Tan is one of at least four households living on the top floor of this estate near Bedok Reservoir that have noticed cracks in their flats after the works started two to three months ago. A notice at the lift lobby of Tan's block said the reroofing works — which typically involve hacking off the surface of the roof and replacing it with a new waterproofing membrane — are expected to be completed by Dec 13 for the block.
He also noticed new patches of mould in his kitchen and study, where a hairline crack has appeared above the air-conditioner. Wee, who said the large crack in his toilet had emerged shortly after he moved into his flat four years ago, added that he is worried the mould in other parts of his flat will affect the health of his three-year-old son.
She said the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council's project manager told her they can plaster and paint over the cracks, but Huang does not think that is sufficient, especially as there are multiple cracks in her false ceiling.
