Is the property liable for water leakage after the balcony is closed?

A detailed analysis was made of whether the property was responsible for the maintenance of balcony leakage. If it is caused by leakage in the exterior wall, the property management department is of course responsible for repairs. However, if the user closes the balcony, the property management company is not liable for compensation.

If the original house does not have a closed balcony, it is a closed balcony by yourself, and the balcony leaks after being closed, which has nothing to do with the property and the property is not responsible.

If it is the cause of the leakage of the exterior wall, the property is of course responsible for maintenance, but the property company is not liable for compensation if the user closes the balcony by himself.

Then I will shirk this responsibility when I go to the property, whether there is responsibility or not? They shirk it, because he will shirk, so I don't think there is any need to look for the property anymore, because many of the sealed balconies are illegal buildings in the eyes of the property.

A detailed analysis was made of whether the property was responsible for maintaining the balcony leakage. If it is due to leakage in the exterior wall, the property management is of course responsible for maintenance, but if the user closes the balcony, the property management is not responsible for compensation.

There is no responsibility for balcony leakage property, balcony leakage is two situations, one is water leakage within the warranty period, and the other is water leakage after the warranty period, and the treatment situation is different. The warranty period of the commercial housing for the owners of the new community is 10 years, the first five years are repaired and maintained by the developer, and the property company is responsible for the maintenance for the last five years, which is free of charge during this period. After the warranty period, you can also ask for property maintenance, but paid service is required.

Legal analysis: 1. Find out the cause of water seepage.

When the balcony seeps, the first step is to find out the cause of the water seepage, and only after finding out the cause of the water seepage can you determine who is responsible. There are usually three reasons: the quality of the house itself, the improper use of the owner and the improper decoration, and the person in charge will be different for different reasons.

2. The developer is responsible.

In general, if the house is within the warranty period, it is the developer of the house who is responsible. If the balcony is leaking and it is under warranty, but the developer does not want to be responsible, then it is possible to find someone to repair it yourself. However, the cost of repairs can be summed up and the property can be reported to the developer for compensation.

However, after the renovation, the kitchen, bathroom and other places are not in the scope of maintenance because they have changed their shape, which is different from when the house was handed over.

3. The person who caused the water seepage is responsible.

If the owner of the upstairs causes the seepage of water on the balcony downstairs, then the owner of the upstairs is responsible. We need to have a good relationship with our neighbors, take responsibility for ourselves, and if we cause trouble to other residents, we need to repair and compensate them immediately.

Responsible. First, the shelf life of the house.

Repair of water leaks within. This is generally the responsibility of a housing repair team under the customer relations department of the real estate developer, and the property generally does not interfere, at most it will be reported and relayed, and the feedback information will be provided at both ends.

If it is a small development company, it will entrust the property management company to contact the construction unit directly, but the responsibility for this maintenance is still borne by the development company.

In many cases, the property company cannot call the construction unit, and the owner needs to contact the real estate company directly, if it is delayed for too long, it is not conducive to maintenance. The so-called unjust debtor has the owner!

2. Repair of water leakage outside the shelf life of the house. The shelf life of water leakage repair is generally five years, and water seepage on exterior walls, doors and windows beyond this period generally needs to be solved through maintenance funds. Again, this is not the property company's responsibility for repairs.

The property company assists the Owners' Committee.

Jointly responsible for the use of maintenance funds to solve the maintenance problem, but in practice, it is difficult to operate successfully, the use of this maintenance funds, need the consent of more than two-thirds of the owners of the unit or the building, but also go through a considerable process, one or two years after the approval of the examples, the list is endless, there are more examples of giving up halfway.

3. Water leakage in the house caused by human causes. For example, the riser is blocked, there is a backwater phenomenon in the home, such as a burst pipe at home, etc., and the household is not discovered in time due to long-term unoccupied, resulting in the ceiling downstairs.

If there is water seepage polluting indoor furniture items, etc., if the downstairs is also uninhabited after decoration, then the loss is greater.

When this kind of problem arises, the responsibility of the property management company is only to help eliminate the danger, investigate the cause and take photos for evidence, and it is not liable for maintenance compensation, and the responsibility for maintenance compensation is the responsibility of the responsible party for water leakage. When necessary, the owner can defend his rights by suing the person responsible, and the property management company can assist as a witness.

In short, the property management fee paid by the owner.

It does not include the cost of repairs to the house. If there is a water leakage problem in the house, it is necessary to identify the nature of the problem and take targeted measures to help solve the problem quickly.

Legal basis: Civil Code of the People's Republic of China.

Article 296:Where the owner of immovable property rights uses adjacent immovable property for the purposes of water, drainage, passage, laying pipelines, etc., it shall try to avoid causing harm to the adjacent immovable property rights holders.

Measures for the management of residential interior decoration and decoration.

Article 32 Under normal use conditions, the minimum warranty period for residential interior decoration and decoration projects is two years, and the leakage prevention of kitchens, bathrooms and exterior walls with waterproof requirements is five years. The warranty period is from the completion and acceptance of the residential interior decoration project.

Calculated from the date of qualification.

Article 33 If the decorator shall be responsible for repairing and compensating the decoration enterprise for the responsibility of the decoration enterprise due to the blockage, water leakage, water and power outage, or damage to the adjacent residential pipes of the residential interior decoration activities5.

The public balcony belongs to the property management, and the own balcony belongs to the personal management. When there is a water leakage in the building, if it is a leakage in public parts such as balconies, exterior walls and roofs, then the property should be responsible for maintenance, but if the water leakage is caused by the owner's decoration or improper use, it should be borne by the owner.

Balcony leakage treatment method 1, top floor balcony leakage: If the balcony is on the top floor, find the leakage point when water leakage occurs. Look for cracks on the roof from high to low, check whether the middle layer of the roof is aged, if you find that the roof waterproof membrane has bubbles, it means that the water has entered the bottom of the waterproof layer, which will cause the balcony to leak.

Dig a hole at the leakage point, clean it and refill it with waterproof material, and then brush it with a thick layer of cement to solve the problem of local top leakage. If the waterproof layer of the roof is leaking due to aging, it is best to re-waterproof the roof, and pay attention to all corners of the roof to be carefully treated, otherwise it will not be able to play a waterproof role.

2. Water leakage between the balcony window and the wall: If the balcony leakage is between the window frame and the balcony wall, it is necessary to use silicone sealant with no shrinkage and good adhesion to seal these gaps. When using, it is necessary to clean up the dust and debris between the balcony window frame and the wall, and then use sealant to repair the gaps in the place where glue is needed, cut the glue nozzle into an inclined plane, and then beat the glue, which can have a good sealing effect.

3. Water leakage at the top water pipe of the balcony: If there is a drainage pipe between the upper and lower floors of the balcony, it is very easy to leak if the waterproofing is not treated well. In this case, coordinate with the upstairs user and ask the neighbor to reconstruct the waterproofing of the sewer pipe.

The connection between the floor drain and the corresponding drainage pipe should be sealed, and the surrounding area of the floor drain should be brushed with waterproofing agent. If you find a leak in the drain pipe on the top of the balcony, you can use PVC-U glue to bond it to seal the leakage.
