That bites. Can you have someone come fix the leak and then send them the bill?

We went through a flood last year. I live in a stacked townhome, we've got a rooftop terrace. The membrane on the floor had a pin hole leak which got bigger some how during the winter and caused a massive leak... 2 floors had damages, we had to live in a home with ceilings and walls cut out.
They did a half assed job fixing it. We ended up paying 6k out of pocket.
That is some sketchy plumbing with all those cheap patches (those aren't really clamps) on the pipes.
Here is the update from the plumbers. Apparently it was a clog that is located in the garage which is the root cause. Also the slopes on the pipes are wrong. Not sure how they can fix it but they said they will try their best. So the rubber on the clamps were bad as well which caused the leak here but the root cause of this stems from the angle of the pipe which caused the clog pipe.

most condo boards are staffed with non trades people. As such they don't care about infrastructure but prefer to decorate common spaces. If you campaign for infrastructure you get voted off the island.
Politics on a small scale.
That’s not an accurate statement at all. While condo boards are made of members that may not know the intricacies of infrastructure, they certainly care about it. That’s why the condo act requires them by law to hire and conduct engineering surveys and reports.
As with everything, there are some condo boards that are better/worse than others. But don’t paint them all with the same wide brush.
^ Dealt with a bunch of different boards in a previous business, not a single one I interacted with made a decision that wasn't based on cheapest n fastest.
Only really delt with a handful on new builds. After that problems were the customers. Not one good experience yet. As cheap as possible. As quick at possible and anytime there is an issue. They throw you under the bus to the customer.
