According to the Gaepo Jaipresidence management office on the 22nd, water pooling occurred in part of the underground parking lot of the apartment on the 20th. A GS Construction official said, "Sediment had accumulated in the underground parking lot, and as it rained overnight, stormwater flowed in, causing water pooling in some sections. However, the drainage was repaired the next day, and currently, there are no issues."

Leakage also occurred not only in the underground parking lot but also in the community facility 'Tea House' (cafe) within the complex. The apartment management office announced on the 21st, "Due to leakage and flooding caused by GS Construction's poor workmanship, the opening is temporarily postponed until after the repair work is completed."

The management office believes that problems with the roof's slope are the cause of the leakage and flooding. Regarding this, GS Construction stated, "We have checked the situation and will identify the exact cause and take measures."
