A stain spreading under the bathroom above 
The membrane in the slab above has failed. The fix is upstairs. 

Ceiling plaster cracking over rusty bars 
Spalling concrete. It spreads, and loose pieces can fall. 

Damp walls, peeling paint, white powder 
Water is moving through the wall from somewhere wetter. 

Water through the ceiling after rain 
A roof or facade entry point. Whose roof decides who fixes it. 
HDB notes that ceiling leaks are particularly common in older flats, especially in bathrooms and toilets, as the waterproofing membrane and screed in the slab wear down ([HDB](https://www.mynicehome.gov.sg/hdb-how-to/maintain-your-flat/)).

## Questions people ask

 What does Seepwise do? + 
Seepwise matches Singapore homeowners with waterproofing and leak-repair specialists. You describe the leak and the type of home; a specialist calls back to arrange an inspection, finds the source and quotes the repair. Who pays for a ceiling leak in an HDB flat? + 
Usually both owners, because the slab between the flats is shared. HDB's Goodwill Repair Assistance has co-paid 50% of the repair, with the rest split between the upper and lower owners. Renovation-caused leaks are the upper owner's cost; top-floor roof leaks are the Town Council's. How much does waterproofing cost in Singapore? + 
Published 2026 contractor guides put a toilet waterproofing package (membrane, screed, ponding test) at about S$800 to S$2,500, plus about S$800 to S$1,500 for hacking. Roofs and hidden leaks are priced after inspection. Can a leak be fixed without hacking? + 
Sometimes. PU injection seals a localised leak path without hacking. If the membrane has failed across the wet area, re-screeding is the fix HDB describes as most effective. My flat is new. Should I call a contractor? + 
Report it to HDB first. New flats carry a 5-year warranty on ceiling leaks and external seepage and 10 years on spalling, and changing tiles can end the ceiling-leak warranty. Is there a charge for sending a request? + 
No. Sending a request costs nothing. The specialist explains any inspection fee before the visit.
