We find the leak source
Hidden pipe leaks are traced before we open walls or floors. This keeps hacking to the smallest area needed. It also means we fix the cause, not just the stain.

Leaking pipes, dripping taps, low water pressure, water heaters and toilet repairs. Steer Builders fixes plumbing in homes, offices and shops across Singapore.
Hidden leaks do the most damage. Water from a concealed pipe or a failed bathroom floor seeps into walls, ceilings and the unit below long before anyone sees a puddle. Many of the ceiling stains we are called to fix turn out to be plumbing, not the roof. In Singapore's humid climate, that trapped moisture also brings mould, peeling paint and a musty smell that keeps coming back. We start by finding the real source. We look at the pipes, joints, traps, floor wastes and sealant around the wet areas, and check whether the problem appears only when a fixture is used or all the time. Once we know where the water is coming from, we explain it to you in plain terms and give you a written quote before any work begins. The repair is done properly so the leak does not return a few months later: replacing corroded or cracked pipes, renewing joints and valves, and resealing around basins, showers and toilets. We also handle everyday jobs such as replacing taps and mixers, fixing running toilet cisterns, clearing slow drains, installing basins and sinks, and supplying and installing storage and instant water heaters. We work in HDB flats, condominiums, landed houses, shophouses, offices and shops. In older HDB flats and landed homes, ageing pipes are a common cause of low pressure and repeated leaks. In condos and offices, we can coordinate with the management office on access, working hours and water shut-offs. Because our team also does ceilings, tiles and painting, we can open a wall or floor to reach a pipe and then close it up and finish it, so you do not need a second contractor to make good. One team handles the whole job, from tracing the leak to leaving the area clean and dry.

Leak detection and repair
We trace concealed and exposed pipe leaks to their real source before opening anything. The faulty pipe, joint or seal is then repaired so the water stops for good.
Pipe replacement
Old, rusty or corroded pipes are replaced with new pipes and fittings. This is common in older HDB flats and landed homes where pressure has dropped or leaks keep recurring.
Taps, mixers and showers
We supply and install new taps, mixers and shower sets, or install the ones you have bought. Dripping taps can often be fixed by replacing a worn cartridge or washer.
Toilet and cistern repair
We fix running cisterns, weak flushes and leaks at the base of the bowl. Where a toilet is too old or cracked, we can remove it and install a replacement.
Water heater installation
We supply and install storage and instant water heaters, including the water connections and wiring. Old heaters that leak, rust or trip the power are removed and replaced.
Gutter and downpipe repair
Blocked or leaking gutters and downpipes are cleared, resealed or replaced. This matters in Singapore's heavy rain, when overflowing gutters can push water into walls and ceilings.
If you notice any of these, it is time for an inspection.
A worn cartridge or washer wastes water every day and is cheap to fix early. Left alone, the drip usually gets worse and can stain basins and sinks. It is often a quick repair done in one visit.
Swollen or soft cabinet boards mean a pipe joint or trap is leaking. The water often drips slowly, so it goes unnoticed until the board is damaged. Fixing the joint early saves the cabinet and stops mould from forming.
In HDB flats and condos, a stain often comes from the bathroom above. Common causes are failed waterproofing, a leaking floor trap or a concealed pipe. We check the source so the right unit and the right part are repaired.
Rusty old pipes narrow inside and reduce pressure over time. You may notice weak showers or taps that take long to fill a basin. Replacing the affected section of pipe usually restores normal flow.
Leaks, rust or power trips from the heater need checking quickly. Water and electricity together are a safety risk, so switch the heater off if you see a problem. We can inspect it and advise whether to repair or replace.
Water that drains slowly usually has a partial blockage building up. Hair, soap and kitchen grease are the usual causes. Clearing it early avoids a full blockage, bad smells and overflow.

Hidden pipe leaks are traced before we open walls or floors. This keeps hacking to the smallest area needed. It also means we fix the cause, not just the stain.
We also fix the ceiling, tiles and paint the leak damaged, in the same job where possible. You deal with one team instead of several contractors. The area is left finished, not half done.
Scope, parts and price agreed before work starts. If we find something unexpected once the pipe is open, we explain it and agree any change with you first. No surprises on the final bill.
Floors protected and the area cleaned when we finish. We cover furniture and fixtures near the work area. Debris and old parts are taken away.
From leak to dry
WhatsApp a photo or video of the leak or fitting. This helps us understand the problem and bring the right tools and parts.
We check pipes, joints and floors to find the cause. We then explain what we found and what needs to be done.
Clear price, then the repair with proper fittings. Work only starts once you agree to the written quote.
Pressure tested, then tiles or paint restored. We check for leaks again before we leave and clean up the area.
Turn off the main water valve, then send us a photo or video on WhatsApp so we can advise and arrange a visit.
Check that it turns, so you can stop a leak fast. In HDB flats it is usually near the water meter outside the unit or in the kitchen. A stiff or seized valve should be replaced before an emergency.
A torch check catches small leaks early. Look for drips, damp boards and rust on pipe joints. Small leaks are much easier and cheaper to fix than water damage.
Grease hardens and blocks kitchen pipes. Wipe oily pans with paper and throw it in the bin. Use a sink strainer to catch food scraps.
Old heaters leak and can trip the power. Watch for rust, water at the base or a heater that takes longer to warm up. Replace it before it fails, especially if it is mounted above a false ceiling.
If it drips when nobody has used water and it has not rained, it is often a pipe. If it only appears after rain, it is usually the roof. In HDB flats and condos, it may also come from the bathroom or kitchen of the unit above. We check both the plumbing and the roof so you fix the right thing.
Sometimes. Small leaks at joints or grout can be sealed from the surface. If the pipe itself is broken, we open the smallest area possible and restore the tiles after. We will tell you which option applies once we have traced the leak.
Yes, we can supply them, or install the ones you have bought. If you are unsure what to choose, we can suggest suitable options for your space and water heater point. Just let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Usually not. It is often a worn flush valve or inlet valve and can be fixed in one visit. A running toilet wastes a lot of water, so it is worth fixing early. If the cistern itself is cracked, we can advise on a replacement.
