How should the upstairs owner compensate for the water leakage caused by the broken water pipe and the soaking of the downstairs floor?

According to Article 92 of the Property Law: "The owner of a real estate uses an adjacent real estate for water use, drainage, transportation, pipeline laying, etc. We should try our best to avoid causing damage to neighboring real estate owners; If damage is caused, compensation shall be made. "

First of all, we need to find out the cause of water leakage. If the quality of the house does not meet the national standards, during the warranty period, the damaged owner may ask the developer to repair the leaking house and compensate the owner for the losses caused thereby.

Secondly, if the upstairs owner does cause the downstairs residents to "get into the water" due to the decoration or laying of water pipes, the upstairs residents should find out the causes of water leakage in time and carry out maintenance, and should also be responsible for the damage caused by their improper behavior to the downstairs residents.

According to Article 53 of the Property Management Regulations, if the owner needs to decorate the house, he shall inform the property service enterprise in advance. The realty service enterprise shall inform the owners of the prohibited acts and matters needing attention in the house decoration. When the property company finds that there is any violation of relevant regulations in the decoration process, it shall notify the actor to stop and correct it immediately;

If the actor refuses to stop or correct, it shall promptly report to the relevant administrative departments for handling according to law. When the owners encounter such problems, they should first report to the property management company. If the property management company fails to fulfill the above obligations, it should bear certain liability for compensation to the owners who have suffered losses. However, if the property company has fulfilled its obligations, it will not assume responsibility.
