Who is responsible for the leakage of water pipes outside the building?

Property responsibility: outdoor pipes are damaged, whether it is water supply pipes, drainage pipes, heating pipes or any other pipes, whether in the corridor or outside the stairs, there should be a property to bear all the maintenance costs.

Owner's responsibility: the owner shall be responsible for the exposed indoor pipes, whether they are faucets, angle valves, sprinklers or various exposed water pipes. After being damaged, the property can provide maintenance services, but it needs to charge for materials (if there is no material, the owner may need to buy it himself) and labor costs.

This part of the cost is usually higher than the market price, so there are not many owners looking for property maintenance.

What should I do if I don't deal with the water leakage upstairs?

(1) First of all, for the losses caused by water leakage, be sure to shoot videos to save relevant evidence.

(2) Because the upstairs is not handled, we will help the property and communicate with the upstairs owners to reach an agreement.

(3) In addition, if it still doesn't work, then we can go to the street office to give feedback and ask them to help deal with such disputes.

(4) If it still doesn't work, we can find a professional lawyer to sue, because the water leakage upstairs has caused us losses, and the other party is unwilling to rectify and defend itself through legal means.

(5) In other cases, if the other party has not come forward, we can also coordinate the matter through the police, and then the office and the property will jointly solve it.

(6) In addition, in the process of water leakage, the furniture and other objects in the water leakage area should be adjusted in time without the other party's action. We should also avoid minimizing our own losses.

Causes of water leakage in upstairs sewer pipe

(1) This kind of water pipe will leak when its normal service life exceeds 10 years, and it usually rots from the inside out. It is easy to break by hand in the rotted area, which will make the downstairs floor appear a lot of watermarks and even drip.

(2) If a copper tube is installed at home, water leakage will occur, because its welding place is prone to dripping symptoms.
