Condo Water Damage Restoration Near Me

Condo Leaks Come With a Chain of People to Notify
A condo leak crosses property lines. Water from a neighbor's unit soaks your ceiling, runs behind walls and may reach units on other sides. Several parties may be involved: you, the neighbor, the association and each insurer.
The crew's job is the water: extraction, drying and records. Call Water Damage Restoration Response Team at (888) 612-9219, 24/7, and let the association know right away.
- Usual sources: Unit above, shared stack, roof or an appliance
- Wets first: Ceiling, walls, cabinets and floors below
- Who pays: Depends on the source, the association rules and policies
- Easy to miss: Water running along joists into other rooms

What if the leak is from a neighbor?
Document the damage and tell the association and your insurer. The responsible party depends on the cause.
