Hi Chopsuey

There are two issues

It sounds like the wall is lot property given it lies between your bathroom and your bedroom. Therefore, if the bubbling is caused by water from the bathroom, then you are responsible for fixing the problem (not the OC). However, depending upon a range of factors (including the relevant limitation periods), you may have a right of action available against the original builder.

If the bubbling is caused by water from another source (ie not the bathroom), then responsibility may lie elsewhere, depending upon where the water comes from.

Finally, you’ll need an engineer to determine if the structure of the building has been compromised.
