Guidelines for Plumbing Repairs GENERAL In the event that a Unit Owner or Occupant (the occupant should notify the owner) experiences a problem with the plumbing; a licensed plumber should be called. Most plumbing problems are within the unit and are the responsibility of the Unit Owner or Occupant. TRUE EMERGENCY - POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO OTHER UNITS In the event that immediate action is needed to prevent damage or flooding to other units in the building, the Unit Owner or Occupant should contact any one of the following that is available:
The only way to shut off gushing water is to turn off the water to the entire building at the meter. It is necessary to notify all the unit residents that this must be done. DRAIN PROBLEM OUTSIDE THE BUILDING: Drain problems outside the building are the responsibility of the Association. The Association has had problems with plumbers claiming that the problem is outside the building so that the Owner or Occupant can be reimbursed for the plumbing repair; therefore, the Association reserves the right to contact its plumber to resolve the outside drain problem. The plumber will be contacted as soon as notification is received. |
