I live on the 11th floor of a 23-storey housing society. There’s a small balcony/flower bed outside my hall and a common vertical drain pipe built by the builder. I haven’t made any alterations, and there’s no leakage on my floor. However, the flat below is experiencing leakage around that pipe area. Who is responsible for the waterproofing costs in this case?
Since the leakage is near a builder-installed common pipe, it is likely a society or builder responsibility, not yours, especially as there is no leakage on your floor. Inform the society in writing. If they refuse to act, you can file a written complaint with the housing board or consumer forum for resolution. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
