Who is responsible for the maintenance of the terrace leakage?

There are different situations of balcony leakage. For example, the upstairs balcony leakage is the responsibility of the upstairs owner, and the housing quality problem can be the responsibility of the developer. After the warranty period, it is necessary to find someone to repair it.

1, ask the developer for housing quality problems.

If it is water leakage caused by housing quality problems, and it is still within the warranty period, the developer should be responsible for maintenance. The warranty period of the newly-built residential area and the owner's commercial house is 10 year. The developer is responsible for the maintenance in the first five years, and the property company is responsible for the maintenance in the last five years, free of charge during the period.

2. The upstairs owner is responsible for the leakage of the balcony upstairs.

If it is the balcony seepage caused by the upstairs owner, in this case, you can find the upstairs neighbor to be responsible for maintenance compensation.

After the warranty period, you should repair it yourself.

If the balcony decoration causes water leakage, it can only be handled by itself after the warranty period.

Solutions to balcony leakage;

1, do a good job of ground waterproofing.

Make sure that the ground has a slope and the lower side is a drain. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that there is at least a height difference of 2-3 cm between the balcony and the living room, try to choose marble floor, and the sealing and leakage prevention work must be done at both ends and bottom of the slate.

2. Buried pipelines

Some owners want to transform the balcony into a small garden, laundry room, storage room, kitchen and so on. So they will install a faucet on the balcony to meet the needs of daily life. Damage to drainage pipes or floor drains can also cause balcony seepage. Before installing the faucet, it is best to reserve all kinds of jacks and bury the pipes.

3, set the drainage channel

Most of the balcony wall seepage is aluminum alloy windows, which are prone to aging, hardening and cracking of sealing strips after long-term exposure to sunlight and rain. However, there is no drainage channel for aluminum alloy windows, which will lead to rainwater not being discharged, resulting in water pressure and leakage along the wall. The solution is to remember to set drainage channels during construction.
