Who is responsible for the water leakage in the community?

The responsibility for water leakage in the community depends on the situation:

1. Man-made reasons: the water pipe in the residential area leaks, and the decorator should be responsible for compensation. Article 33 of the Measures for the Administration of Interior Decoration of Residential Buildings stipulates that if the pipes of adjacent houses are blocked, leaked, cut off from water and electricity or articles are damaged due to interior decoration of residential buildings, the decorator shall be responsible for repairing and compensating, and if it is the responsibility of the decoration enterprise, the decorator may demand compensation from the decoration enterprise;

2. Natural causes: the water pipe in the residential area leaks, and the property is responsible for compensation.

Treatment of water leakage in residential areas;

1, usually look for the property department first. Because the property department is generally entrusted by the developer to contact the maintenance affairs, the property department (entrusted by the developer) should contact the construction unit for warranty;

2, such as housing maintenance funds have been deposited, which belongs to the purchased public houses directly under the municipal government, and the owners shall apply to the owners' committee or neighborhood committee; Put forward the housing maintenance fund. The part of the house maintenance cost that exceeds the deposit of the maintenance fund shall be shared by the relevant owners in proportion to the construction area;

3. If the purchased unit manages public houses by itself, the owner shall apply to the owners' committee or neighborhood committee where the house is located; After the owners' committee or neighborhood committee puts forward the details of the housing maintenance budget, consult the owners and fill out the application form, and send it to the original selling unit; After the original unit sells the house to the maintenance fund and deposits it in the bank for reconciliation and fills in the relevant forms, it shall go through the procedures of extraction and review with the data to the city housing security center; After approval, the original selling unit will remit money to the bank and transfer it to the account designated by the owners' committee or neighborhood committee for the actual maintenance of the house;

4. Commercial housing: If the owner's house is under warranty, the developer should be required to be responsible for the warranty.

To sum up, the general warranty period of residential houses is 5 years. If the water leakage is not caused by man during the warranty period, the developer is responsible for the water leakage. Developers can complain to the local quality supervision department if they don't handle it. If the complaint is useless, they can sue the developer.
