Who is responsible for the leakage of heating pipes?

The leakage of public heating pipeline mainly depends on who is in charge of the leaking pipeline and who should be responsible for the maintenance.

The property is responsible for the leakage of the heating pipe in the corridor. The owner is responsible for the heating pipes entering the house, and the property is responsible for the public areas like corridors. Whether or not the opening fee is paid, the maintenance of this corridor still belongs to the scope of property responsibility.

Generally, this jurisdiction should be clearly defined in the heating contract to avoid problems and shirking each other. Now that the pipeline is leaking, you should check the contract and make clear your responsibility and who will be responsible for the maintenance.

If there is no agreement in the contract, the general practice is: circulating water heating pipe network, which is under the jurisdiction of the heating company to the first valve of the entrance device of the user building. From the flange behind the door, it is under the jurisdiction of the property management company.
