What if the leaky man upstairs is not at home?

Find a property to open the pipeline well and close the water inlet valve first. When there is water leakage upstairs and no one is there, as a resident downstairs, you should check whether the door of the pipeline well is open at the first time. The main water inlet and outlet valves of all households and families in the building are in the pipeline well. Pipeline wells are generally locked and require property to open, and some places are open all year round. You can go and see for yourself first. If the door doesn't open, we can only find a property. In terms of property, there are both the key to the pipeline well and the contact information of your upstairs residents. After turning off the water inlet valve, communicate with the upstairs residents through their telephone numbers. It is mainly to ask when the other party will be at home, inform the other party of the problems, and negotiate the time or solution as soon as possible. The location of the pipeline well is conspicuous, generally next to the corridor in the middle of each floor, mostly next to the fire control facilities, so you can find it yourself. This should be no problem.

Who will be responsible for the rain and water leakage on the roof?

(a) the house has not passed the warranty period, and the developer shall bear the maintenance responsibility.

(2) Upon the expiration of the warranty period, the maintenance cost shall be borne by the building owner. If you live on the top floor of the community, you can find a property management company to be responsible, because the roof belongs to public buildings and belongs to the scope of property management.

(3) If the roof of a private house leaks, I will be responsible.

(4) The roof of the house outside the top floor leaks, which is generally the problem upstairs, and the upstairs residents are responsible. The use of dormitory rooms shall be maintained by subordinate units.

Causes and solutions of common rainwater leakage in residential buildings

(1) If the roof leaks rain due to waterproof damage, it is recommended to use asphalt waterproof material to repair it. After covering the leak, the leakage situation can be improved. If you want to prevent the roof from leaking for a long time, it is also recommended to make the roof waterproof again or coat it with a thick layer of latex to completely improve it.

(2) If the roof tiles are in short supply or damaged, tiles can be added or replaced without other operations. This kind of roof leakage is still well solved, and the consumption of manpower and material resources is extremely small.

(3) If the roof structure is damaged, there are many leakage points, and water seepage problems occur in a large area, first of all, the smaller leakage points should be repaired with glass glue, and the larger leakage points should be filled with roof crack repair materials. Then laying waterproofing membrane on the roof can solve the problem of roof leakage well.

(4) If the roof leaks because the waterproof construction is not done properly during the house decoration, then the best solution is to waterproof the roof when the sun is shining. If you don't want to generate more expenses, you can use asphalt waterproof materials. If you are more concerned about whether the water leakage problem can be solved effectively and thoroughly, then it is recommended to use roofing waterproof materials for repair, which greatly reduces the possibility of roof leakage again.

(5) It is easy to grow grass on the roof, and the growth of these plants will often cause damage to the roof tiles. If this is the reason why the roof leaks rain, it is suggested to start work on the kitchen stove first, and then replace the tiles.
