What if the top floor leaks?

Water leakage on the top floor is a common problem, so how to solve it? This article will provide you with a solution.

If the property is a unit and there are leaks, find the housing management and welfare department.

Property maintenance

If the property provides maintenance, the saboteur will bear the maintenance cost, and if the other party refuses to compensate for the loss, it will take judicial channels.

Causes of water leakage in old houses

After living in the house for a long time, the top floor of the house leaks easily. This is because the previous waterproof protection has lost its function because it has been in the house for a long time, so the rain will leak out from the cracks in the wall. Especially the leakage of old houses will become more and more serious. If left untreated, it will rain heavily outside and light rain inside.

Build a garden flower stand

Some residents will set up vegetable gardens and flower stands on the top floor, but when designing these, the waterproof isolation layer is not done well, so water seeps into the floor, which will cause water leakage in the lower floor, and some even set up a pool on the roof. If this is not waterproof, the erosion of the lower layer will be very serious.

Engineering quality problem

If the roof of the new house leaks, it may be the quality problem of the project, because the building materials are cut corners, or the waterproof project may not meet the standard. In this case, there must be other quality problems besides water leakage, which will be more troublesome to solve.
