Kepong is a large residential and commercial township in north-west Kuala Lumpur, with terraces from the 1970s and 1980s, busy shop rows in Kepong Baru and Metro Prima, and small factories and workshops around Jinjang and Sungai Buloh.
What we usually see in Kepong
Older wiring and ageing pipes
Houses from past decades often run more appliances than their original wiring and DB box were designed for, which shows up as power trips. Older galvanised pipes also corrode from the inside, so slow leaks behind walls are common.
Homes above shop-houses
Many shop-house rows have homes or home offices upstairs, with long pipe runs, shared roofs, and aircon units mounted at the back. Leaks from the floor above and weak water pressure on upper floors are typical calls.
Factory offices and three-phase supply
Factories and warehouses usually have three-phase supply, office aircon running long hours, and wiring added over the years. Most calls are power trips, extra sockets for new machines, and office aircon that stops cooling.
