Aircon trunking ceilings (long horizontal runs in BTO layouts)
Mould Removal in Punggol
Quick Answer
Punggol is Singapore's newest BTO estate and ground zero for first-year aircon trunking mould, alongside waterfront humidity above 78% RH and sealed bomb shelters used as storerooms. Typical jobs are BTO trunking mould from S$560, waterfront bedroom mould from S$199 per surface and shelter treatment from S$360. New flats are not immune — the trunking condensation problem shows up within the first 12 months.
Newest BTO estate — and ground zero for first-year aircon mould.

Why Punggol sees this kind of mould
Punggol is dominated by post-2010 BTO blocks with concealed aircon trunking and waterfront-facing units along Punggol Waterway. The combination of new-build vapour drive, long horizontal trunking runs and high waterfront humidity produces a very specific 'first-year mould' pattern — usually surfacing 12–12 months after key collection.

How this is calculated: live layer 60% — moisture & mould risk 30, outdoor air 20, thermal 10, from NEA humidity, temperature, rainfall, PSI and PM2.5 by reporting zone. Structural layer 40% — housing age and waterproofing 15, exposure 10, density and shading 8, our field record 7. Same 0–100 scale and bands (Excellent 85+, Good 70+, Fair 55+, Poor 40+, Critical under 40) as the Home Wellness Index. UV and noise are national context only and never scored.
