Case study of property: Who will bear the family losses caused by the blockage of public pipes?

Case: Uncle Wang lives in an apartment on the second floor of a residential area. Years ago, the old couple were received by Dalian's son for the New Year in Dalian, but they have not been able to return to Nanjing because of the epidemic. Recently, the epidemic situation has improved. Uncle Wang returned to Nanjing, but when he visited home, he found that the house was soaked in sewage, and the clothes on the floor, sofa and closet were moldy and smelly. After investigation, it was found that the sewer pipe was blocked, which led to the overflow of toilet sewage and caused such a great loss to Uncle Wang's family.

Then, like Uncle Wang's house, who will bear the responsibility for the loss of the owner's house because the public pipes in the community are blocked?

According to the Property Acceptance Measures of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, water supply and drainage pipelines belong to public equipment; Article 34 also stipulates: "From the date of property transfer, the property service enterprise shall fully perform the maintenance, conservation and management obligations agreed in the previous property service contract, stipulated by laws and regulations and determined by industry norms, and bear the responsibility for the damage or loss of * * * parts and facilities of the property due to improper management services.

Therefore, the losses caused to Uncle Wang's family should be borne by the property service enterprises in the community.

Of course, there is another situation. If Mr. Wang changes the line, cuts the line, cuts holes or extends the public pipeline without permission, he will be responsible for the losses. If losses are caused to his neighbors, Mr. Wang is also responsible for their losses.
