Who will be responsible for the damage of water pipes?

Legal analysis: 1. If the water pipes in the community are damaged by others, for example, neighbors accidentally break the water pipes during renovation, you can find the infringer to be responsible for the maintenance and ask for relevant compensation. If the water pipe rupture in the residential area is caused by non-human reasons, and it is still within the warranty period, then we are responsible for the maintenance, and the developer will compensate the related losses.

2. Who will bear the loss of water pipe rupture in the community and who will be responsible for the management of the broken water pipe. For example, if the public water pipe in the community is broken, then we can find property maintenance and compensate for some losses. Because the residential property is responsible for the maintenance and management of public facilities, the public water pipes are broken, and the residential property has not fulfilled its due obligations. If the water pipe rupture belongs to the owner's own property rights, the owner shall bear the losses caused by the water pipe rupture.
