Who is responsible for the burst of water pipes in residential areas?

Legal analysis: 1. If the water pipes in the community are damaged by individuals, 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.

3. 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.

Legal basis: Article 165 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC). If the actor infringes upon the civil rights and interests of others through fault, he shall bear the tort liability. If the actor is presumed to be at fault according to the law and cannot prove that he is not at fault, he shall bear tort liability.
