Last Tuesday’s surprise heavy downpour caused two feet high flood in the lower portions of Cainta including the street in front of Ford Cainta in less than an hour. It’s good the brand new vehicles parked on the lower portion were brought to higher grounds behind the service area. The weather is crazy and unpredictable nowadays.
Ondoy’s flood in this area reached 2.6 meters. Ford Cainta is only 2 meters higher than the street level. We are hoping to have a two story parking at the back that’s two additional meters higher. I don’t think the flood situation would improve, things could worsen.
That 45-minute- rainfall damaged portions of Ford Cainta’s ceiling. Aside from yellow water marks on the ceiling, a portion gave way due to the weight of rain water that accumulated on the ceiling.
Glad it didn’t fall on the cars below.
Hi Ms. Annie. You should file a complaint with your contractor. Even with that kind of rainfall, your ceiling is not supposed to collapsed that way. In the first place, water should not be seeping into the ceiling. Water should just remain on the roof sliding to the drain. Your building is relatively new right? With more reason, your roof should not have leaks.
Hi,
You are right, our building is fairly new, less than a year, and water should not invade its interiors.
We did not have a single contractor. There were several groups who took the jobs, but some were in house.
Since there’s a common denominator- all our buildings have leaks, maybe this was done by in house workers.
I would check.
Thank you so much for your concern.
Happy weekend.
