The upstairs decoration accidentally burst the water pipe, so the wall leaked and became moldy. What should I do in this case?

This situation should be contacted with the residential property and solved together. I want to find the leak and fix it. For roofs and walls that have already seeped, they should be repainted and put into use after waterproof testing. As for the expenses incurred, they should be borne by the property and neighbors.

The legal basis is Article 83 of the General Principles of Civil Law: If an obstacle or loss is caused to an adjacent party, the infringement shall be stopped, the obstacle shall be removed and the loss shall be compensated. If the neighboring party does not comply with the court's judgment, the injured party may ask the construction team to carry out maintenance from downstairs, and the expenses incurred therefrom may be compensated by the upstairs owner to the court.

Therefore, if the water leak is not caused by people downstairs, it is the responsibility of the upstairs. The upstairs has the responsibility to repair the leakage until it stops, and compensate the corresponding losses downstairs. You can find it upstairs. If it is within the five-year waterproof warranty period, you can find the developer upstairs. After the warranty period, it is the responsibility of the upstairs to decorate or not.

If the other party importune, you can also directly take the developer and the people upstairs to court, which is very helpful and the most direct and effective way to protect rights. Some people, bully others, you will become weak when you go to court, and then pay compensation. As for the maintenance, you can directly ask the third-party maintenance personnel, who will generally provide professional technical advice on concrete waterproof and leakage, so as to avoid the trouble of repairing today, leaking tomorrow, repairing year after year, and leaking year after year.

In addition, the decoration company you are looking for should ensure the quality of decoration and avoid the possibility of water leakage again, which will be beneficial to both sides of your community and reduce the occurrence of greater contradictions.
