Water Heater Singapore
Reason for Callout 📞
At Sunglade Condominium, the homeowner discovered water dripping from the above‑ceiling Joven storage heater. Internal corrosion had breached the tank, marking the unit’s end of serviceable life and rendering repair impossible. Seeking a like‑for‑like solution, they engaged Homeone for a Joven Water Heater Installation so they could retain their preferred brand.

Joven Water Heater Installation at Sunglade
A concealed heater leak soaked the ceiling in a Sunglade condo, signalling end‑of‑life failure. Homeone responded with a swift Joven Water Heater Installation, replacing corroded fittings with stainless steel for a safe, PUB‑compliant upgrade.
Before: Joven JH56
After: Joven JSH35
Date Of Replacement: 14 May 2025
Project Location: Serangoon Ave 2
Before Replacement:
Hidden above the bathroom ceiling, the ageing heater’s inner tank had ruptured, sending water stains across the plasterboard and threatening circuitry. Although the existing setup met PUB rules for bonding and check valves, its copper pipes and brass fittings were already pitted and poised to fail.
After Replacement:
Following a rapid joven water heater installation by Homeone’s PUB‑licensed plumbers, the condo now enjoys a leak‑free system with stainless‑steel pipework that resists corrosion, freshly re‑bonded earth connections, and stable, efficient hot‑water delivery—all fully PUB‑compliant.
Inspection Findings 
- ICondition: Original Joven heater with ruptured inner tank, causing ceiling leaks.
- Compliance Status: Existing double‑check valve and electrical bonding in place, but connecting copper pipes and brass fittings showed early pitting and oxidation.
- Risks: Ongoing water damage to ceiling void, latent risk of electrical short, and imminent pipe failure if corroded fittings were reused.
Work Scopes
- Isolate water‑ and power‑supply circuits; drain residual water.
- Dismantle and remove the failed heater from the ceiling void.
- Fit new stainless‑steel pipes, isolation valves, and compression fittings (within ≤ 1 m).
- Install the replacement Joven heater; align with the mounting brackets.
- Reconnect the double‑check valve
- Re‑establish electrical bonding.
- Restore power, commission the heater, and perform a leak inspection.
- Re‑insulate and seal the ceiling access panel; clear the site of debris.
