Upper-Floor Seepage Responsibility: Communication and Evidence

Cross-unit seepage needs early communication and evidence; departmental and civil tracks differ—general info only.

Suggested steps

Photo/video the stain with dates and weather/water-use notes.
Notify the upper flat in writing or via management; ask them to check trays/pipes.
If stuck, report via Joint Office / 1823.
Consider a surveyor report when needed (cost and weight vary).
