Here is what is different about landed homes, and who is responsible for what. ## What makes leaks in landed homes different Landed homes carry the whole building envelope: roof, external walls, wet areas and drainage. With no Town Council or MCST, the roof is the biggest single exposure, and Singapore's rain tests it hard. The early Northeast Monsoon, December to early January, is the wettest time of year, with monsoon surges that bring prolonged heavy rain ([World Bank](https://climateknowledgeportal.worldbank.org/country/singapore/climate-data-historical)), and annual rainfall rose from 2,192 mm in 1980 to 2,727 mm in 2014 ([NCCS](https://www.nccs.gov.sg/files/docs/default-source/news-documents/infographic---climate-change-in-singapore.pdf)). Flat reinforced-concrete roofs leak where water ponds and at edges, outlets and penetrations. Metal roofs leak at sheet laps and corroding screw holes. Tiled pitched roofs leak at cracked or slipped tiles, ridges, valleys and wall flashings. Each gets a different system, which is why the quote comes after inspection. Terraces and semi-detached houses add party walls: water can travel from the neighbour's roof, gutter or planter into your wall. A detection visit establishes which side the water comes from before anyone is asked to pay. ## Who is responsible for what Situation Who is responsible Roof, gutters and outlets Owner External walls Owner Party wall seepage from next door Established by inspection; the neighbour's side if the source is theirs Wet areas and pipes Owner ## Services for landed homes - Roof waterproofing: For landed homes. HDB and condo roofs belong to the Town Council or the MCST. - Roof leak repair: Water coming through during a storm needs the entry point found, not a new roof. - Water seepage repair: Bubbling paint and white powder on a wall are water moving through it. The source decides the fix. - Balcony and planter box waterproofing: A planter is a box of wet soil sitting on your slab.

What does roof waterproofing cost for a landed house? + There is no reliable published Singapore rate; the surface condition drives the price. Expect an itemised quote after inspection. Water is coming through my party wall. Who pays? + Whoever owns the source. A detection visit establishes which side the water comes from, which is the evidence you need for your neighbour. Can a flat roof that ponds be fixed? + Yes, by correcting the falls to the outlets as part of re-waterproofing; a membrane alone over a ponding roof wears out early. Do I need permission for roof waterproofing? + Like-for-like waterproofing is maintenance. Structural changes are different; your contractor should confirm for your house. ## Other homes we cover [HDB flatsMost HDB leaks have a rule that decides who pays.
