A small Klang Valley crew, working the same way since 2018.
Ekovault started as a one-van outfit doing slow-leak hunts on weekends. It now runs a five-person team across Petaling Jaya, Damansara and KL — same approach, same names answering the phone.
Origin
From a side-job in Damansara Jaya to a five-van workshop.
In late 2017, Hafiz Roslan — then a maintenance supervisor at a city hotel — started taking weekend leak-repair jobs around SS2 and Damansara Utama. Word travelled. Within eighteen months the side-job had a workshop in Jalan SS22, an apprentice, and enough booking pressure that the maintenance day-job had to go.
Ekovault registered as a Sdn Bhd in mid-2018. The "eco" half of the name wasn’t a marketing choice — we’d noticed how many heaters were being replaced like-for-like at twice the running cost of a modern unit, and how many leaks were burning hundreds of ringgit a month in water tariffs.
Six years on, Ekovault is still a small workshop. Five technicians, a part-time office co-ordinator, two service vans and a habit of refusing jobs we can’t do well rather than chasing scale.
How we work
Survey first, quote on paper, then tools.
A site visit always comes before a price. We’d rather drive across town twice than guess on the phone, because a mis-quoted job is the fastest way to lose a homeowner’s trust. Surveys run RM 80–150 within the Klang Valley, refundable against the job if you proceed.
Quotes are written, dated, and sent before tools come off the van. They itemise parts and labour separately. If a hidden problem appears mid-job, work stops, the homeowner sees the photos, and a revised quote is agreed before we keep going.
We default to dual-flush WCs, low-flow tap aerators, and heat-pump or instant water heaters where the property suits them. None of these are upsells — they cost what they cost — but the running-cost savings usually pay back within eighteen to twenty-four months.
The eco angle
Sustainability that pays for itself, not just feels good.
Half of Malaysia’s residential water bill is heating. A 1980s storage heater pulls 3.6 kW for as long as the thermostat asks for it; a modern heat-pump unit does the same job at 700–900 W. The arithmetic for landed homes is usually so clear that we’d argue with anyone who wanted us to replace like-for-like.
The same logic runs through tap aerators (60% less flow at the same perceived pressure), dual-flush WCs (4.5L versus 12L per cycle), and pressure-reducing valves on older condo risers where municipal pressure swings cause silent overuse.
None of this is greenwashing. We quote conventional fittings on request, and the conventional choice is the right answer often enough — budget bathrooms, short-stay rentals, properties under refurbishment. We just don’t default to it.
