Damp & mould compliance software in Singapore.
In Singapore, most people live in high-rise concrete buildings, and damp usually means water getting in: leaks through roofs, external walls and the floors between flats, and condensation where ventilation is poor. Building works are controlled under the Building Control Act, and SS 637 is the code of practice for waterproofing concrete buildings.
The applicable regime
The Building Control Act, administered by the Building and Construction Authority, with SS 637:2018 as the code of practice for waterproofing reinforced concrete buildings.
Three local evidence priorities
1.Trace the leak path
Record the affected room and surface, the flat or common area above or beside it, any wet-area, roof or external-wall source you can see, and readings across the stain so the extent and pattern are clear.
2.Separate leaks from condensation
Air-conditioned rooms, bathrooms and kitchens can show condensation and mould that look like a leak. Note ventilation, any air-conditioning drainage, surface temperatures and humidity before anyone decides on the cause.
3.Keep the repair and recheck together
Link the report, the inspection, any waterproofing or plumbing works and the follow-up visit to the same property record, so the outcome can be checked against the original evidence.
Does the record show where the water comes from?
For a Singapore flat, the useful record follows the water: the affected ceiling, wall or floor, the flat or common area above or beside it, the waterproofing condition you could see and the readings that show the extent. Who is responsible for the repair depends on that source and on the lease or tenancy.
