Dear Sir / Madam,

If the building is more than 50 years old, the slabs ought to have become weak and the plaster will give way, resulting in dampness on the walls and water seeping through the side four corner wall-floor joints and edges. Like you are facing a leakage problem near the bathroom / toilet area in your flat from the flat above, the flat above your flat must be also be facing the same leakage problem from the flat above his / hers, and so on and so forth. The topmost flat will face leakage from the terrace. Redevelopment of the Society buildings is the best way forward as repairs are not really going to serve the purpose.

Regards,
