The Housing Board assisted with 859 cases of complex water seepage in 2024, including from external walls or the flat above, said Senior Minister of State for National Development Sim Ann.

During the monsoon season in March, HDB did not observe a surge in water seepage cases, she told Parliament on April 8.

However, she noted that "HDB has received feedback from some town councils that the number of external water seepage cases typically increases during the monsoon season".

Ms Sim was responding to questions from Ms Carrie Tan (Nee Soon GRC) and Mr Liang Eng Hwa (Bukit Panjang), who asked about the number of water seepage cases and how such cases would get resolved.

Pointing out that town councils are responsible for the maintenance of common property in HDB estates, Ms Sim said residents who encounter water seepage from external walls at their flat typically report it to their town council.

If residents report such cases to HDB, the board will refer these cases to the respective town council to follow up.

"HDB will continue to support town councils in resolving these cases," she added.
