Recent Maintenance

Maintenance has long been issue at Vila Wangsamas due to a neglect by the developer led management and multiple issues with the previous management’s in-house staff.

The current maintenance team have been extremely busy trying to tackle not only the many outstanding job, problems caused by previous teams but also sadly dealing with vandalism caused by residents here.

The following items are a sample of some of the work performed over the past week.

1. Plastic bottles pushed into the drain traps
Sadly empty plastic bottles have been pushed into the floor trap at many many areas which then clogged clogged up the drainage system and caused a small flood.

The technician had to remove the obstructing rubbish by cutting the pipes into two, removing the blockage and then re-joining the pipe.
drain 1

drain 2
The 4 inch pipe located at car park area was cut open
drain 3
Residents have inserted a lot of plastic bottles inside pipe outlet. They are impossible to retrieve from the top as it is too deep but to cut open the pipe below

2. Flood at Blk A-20 Lift Lobby
A report was received that the riser was leaking water badly. The technician tried to turn off the 2 inch gate valve but it was not functioning and water was still gushing out.

The management office staff discussed the issue with our technician immediately quickly purchased the necessary items to resolve the problem.

Shortly after a similar incident occurred and was dealt with quickly by our maintenance team.

Following the repair/replacements to the leaking pipe and faulty gate valve, the locations are now working fine
leak 1

leak 2
Total material cost us about RM160/ compared to a plumber which would have cost would have cost 6-7 times that .

Please rest assured that the team are working flat out to try and resolve the many issues and we will try and share some more examples over the coming weeks.

  3. My opinion is that lack of many things in the past has stagnated the values of V-mas thus inviting "less quality" residents. We hope that the new management can make the key improvements & proper maintenance to hopefully push up property prices & rental rates to invite more "quality" residents. Maybe management can talk to property agents who often solicit V-mas about the condition of the lobbies, elevators, parking areas, gym and floor & wall finishes.

  4. in a way, i agree with saiful's comments. it's the question of 'chicken and egg'. dirty corridors, hideous elevators, not to mention ugly landscapes, are main reasons why our condo isn't regarded high in value and this, in turn, invites 'less quality residents' who, in turn, vandalize properties and violate rules. we, law abiding residents, demands the condo management becomes stricter in implementing house rules!
