[Request an inspection](#request) Last updated: 2026-10-10 [Seepwise](/) arranges roof leak repair for landed homes in Singapore when water is already coming through. HDB roofs are maintained by the Town Council and condo roofs by the MCST, so if you live in either, contact them first ([HDB](https://www.mynicehome.gov.sg/hdb-how-to/maintain-your-flat/)). ## What happens on the first visit The specialist traces the leak from the inside stain back to the roof: outlets that overflow during heavy rain, cracked flashings, failed laps on metal sheets, slipped tiles, or cracks in a flat slab. Where safe, a controlled water test on suspected areas confirms the entry point before repair. ## What to do while it is raining Move valuables and electrical items away from the drip, put a bucket under it, and lay towels to stop water spreading across the floor. If water is near light fittings or switches, switch off that circuit at the distribution board and keep clear. Photograph the stain and the time: the pattern helps the specialist. Do not go onto a wet roof. Most roof falls happen to homeowners checking a leak during or right after rain. ## Where roof leaks usually enter - Blocked outlets and gutters that overflow in a downpour and push water under membranes - Flashings where the roof meets a parapet or wall - Laps and screw holes on metal roofs - Cracked or slipped tiles, ridges and valleys on pitched roofs - Cracks and failed membrane on flat concrete roofs A leak inside rarely sits directly under its entry point; water travels along the slab or the underside of tiles before it drips. ## Repair now, waterproof properly later A roof leak repair fixes the entry point found.

The roof is common property, and HDB directs roof-related leaks to the Town Council. Is a roof leak an emergency? + If water is reaching electrical fittings, or the ceiling is sagging with trapped water, treat it as urgent: switch off that circuit and keep clear. Otherwise contain it and book an inspection. Can a roof leak be fixed in the rain? + The entry point is easiest to confirm in or just after rain, but permanent repairs need a dry surface. Temporary measures come first. Will one repair stop all future leaks? + It stops the entry point found. If the membrane is failing across the roof, the specialist says so in writing so you can plan a full re-waterproof. Is there a charge for sending a request? + No. Sending a request costs nothing. The specialist explains any inspection fee before the visit. ## Related services [Roof waterproofingFor landed homes.
