Who is responsible for the aging and leakage of water pipes in residential areas

The first thing that needs to be determined is the reason why the toilet sewage pipe leaks. For example, because an owner accidentally broke the sewer pipe during the renovation, it caused the problem of water leakage. There is no doubt that this situation is considered to be a human factor. However, whoever damages the pipeline will be responsible for the maintenance.

Secondly, in the new house stage, it is very likely that there are hidden dangers of water leakage of sewage pipes due to quality problems or construction problems of pipes, such as the connection position is not properly attached, such as the pipeline itself has signs of damage, but it was not detected during acceptance, and so on. Then after this problem occurs, the simplest solution is to let the property be responsible for maintenance, and the property will naturally communicate with the developer, which has nothing to do with our owners.

Then there is the problem formed after living for a certain time. For example, after the aging of the community, the quality of the pipeline will inevitably change with the increase of age, which may form the problem of sewage pipeline leakage. Therefore, most of these situations are also property maintenance, but most of the maintenance costs formed in the process of property maintenance are extracted from public maintenance funds.
