      Hi All!

      I have a question about a leaky ceiling. 

      I live in a flat, on the bottom floor and there is a unit above me. Recently there have been two instances where we have had water dripping from an exposed crack in the ceiling, onto my kitchen floor and sink. This happens whenever the people upstairs shut off the main to repair a leaking tap, or simply if they decide to defrost their fridge. It was noted by our neighbours upstairs that the tap he was replacing had a mere trickle coming from it and in comparison, I collected a litre of water dripping from my ceiling, from his tap replacement!

      Following this, we had a plumber and the strata manager inspect the crack. We have been told it will be a strata issue/ cost for repair and that a corroding copper pipe set into the concrete slab might (probably) be to blame. I have personally chased the strata manager for 2 weeks since the incident and not a single call has been returned.

      What is our next step toward resolving this issue?

      Thanks.
