Are all the maintenance costs of leaking water on the top floor paid by the residents downstairs?

First of all, we must find out the cause of the roof problem. If it is caused by individuals, then the residents downstairs should not pay. If it is caused by the quality of the house, it has exceeded the warranty period of the house, then the cost of roof maintenance should be borne by all the owners of the whole unit. If the warranty period is not exceeded, then the cost of maintenance should be borne by the developer.

Common causes of water leakage on the top floor

1. Many plants are planted on the top floor of some houses, which actually have a certain impact on the waterproof materials of houses.

2. The house is very old: If you have lived in the house for a long time and have not taken proper maintenance measures, the waterproof material on the roof of the house is aging and damaged, then the water leakage in the house is also a normal cause.

3. It is not normal for builders to cut corners and use inferior waterproof materials, which makes the house watertight, but with the strictness of the national construction quality supervision department, this situation is becoming less and less. The solution is as follows: Waterproofing agent is mainly used for wall surface, but it is not very effective for roof. Then asphalt and linoleum should be used for roof leakage, which is simple to operate, but has a short service life and needs to be done again in 3~5 years. Another situation is that the main problem of your family is the settlement of the foundation, which leads to the cracking of the wall and is still developing. The settlement of foundation is a slow process, which changes by several millimeters every year, but it is reflected on the roof. Although it has little effect on the overall structure of the house, a few millimeters will cause rain leakage. Therefore, I suggest that it is better to use the method of three oils and two felts for the overall pavement. The cost of adding insulation layer is high, which is equivalent to adding a simple room. Three-oil and two-felt roof.

4. The residents upstairs cooperate to spend time looking for the source of water leakage. Although there is no water nearby, it may flow from other places along the gap. If the water source is clear, it may also be a crack in the pipeline. In this way, please cooperate upstairs to turn off all faucets for a period of time to see if the water leakage has improved. If there is improvement, it means that it is a faucet problem. If there is no improvement, it is a pipe problem. Of course, this problem is also the most troublesome.

5. Just go to the local regular professional management and maintenance company for on-site inspection and treatment. They will have some professional instruments and equipment to find the source of water leakage quickly and accurately and solve it properly. Although it will cost a lot of money, the effect is still good. This method is suggested to solve the problem.
