Water Damage in a Condo Complex is No Fun
8/12/2020 (Permalink)
Water damage is devastating to any building. It is especially devastating in condominium or apartment complexes. A loss that originated in your unit can leak into other units, or even worse, a leak originates in another unit and leaks into yours. Condo or apartment complexes often have overlapping water pipes, so if one unit has an issue with water damage, another unit probably will too.
There is also the situation in which the condo or apartment owner or tenant isn't there when the water loss occurs and it spreads to other units. This can be stressful if the property manager doesn't have a key to the unit suffering the loss or the occupant is hard to contact.
Before buying or renting a condo or apartment, make sure the landlord or property manager knows what to do in that situation and has a trusted vendor they would call. It is important to treat water damage as quickly as possible to reduce the growth of mold and bacteria.
