Leaking apartment fu$%!

[hurley842002]

Was getting ready this morning in then bathroom, when I felt a drip on my shoulder, only to look up and see paint bubbling from the ceiling, and a small drip of water. It's gotten progressively worse, and now leaking into the hot water heater closet. Put in an emergency work order, and just waiting on maintenance. Not how I wanted to spend my one day off (tomorrow) for the week. Hopefully it's not too serious, and we don't have to get into a pissing contest with management.

Probably not weather related. I'm sure the guy above you just overflowed his toilet.

Yeah, 4 windows on my brand new house are leaking, and water at the top of the basement wall on the North side. (Rain/snow has been blowing from the North). I have no idea how to fix the latter. Called and left a message for the warranty people.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I know they had roto rooter out last week to deal with some issues in the unit above us.

Just had a behind wall, above ceiling leak a few weeks ago in the home were selling. PITA. There should be a law against running pipes behind tiled walls with no access panels. Good luck and don't let it burn your time off too much.

When you come home to water coming out from under your front door that's bad. This is just minor. Tightening something on the upstairs water heater or the like

Was hoping you'd stop by, thanks for the reassurance, this is my first time dealing with an issue like this.

Wife says there is now water coming out from under the walls in the pantry and bathroom.

I would go pound on the unit above to see if anyone is home. A feed pipe probably broke and is just pouring water into the walls some where above you. The water needs to be shut off asap.

Complex maintenance is "on scene", I'm trying to handle this with my wife from work.
