Sentul grew around the old railway workshops and still has older terraces and shophouses, while Sentul East and Sentul West are being redeveloped with condominium towers and new commercial blocks.
What we usually see in Sentul
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.
Condo aircon ledges and shared drain stacks
In condominiums, outdoor aircon units sit on narrow ledges, so access decides how the job is done. Kitchen sinks and floor traps connect to shared stacks, which is why blockages sometimes start below your unit.
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.
Newly handed-over homes
Where new houses and condos are being handed over, owners usually need aircon units, ceiling fans, lights, and water filters installed before moving in. Bringing the floor plan and any developer wiring points speeds up the quote.
