Water Damage?

[FallenAngel]

So the new drama in my life includes problems in my bathroom. I noticed the other day, while taking a shower, that there are “bubbles” in the left corner on the ceiling over the bathtub/shower. Due to the insistence of a couple of people, I called the apt. people because that is apparently water damage.

The maintenance people went and checked it out yesterday and said they fixed the problem which was a leak in the apartment two floors above me.

Yay! All fixed!


Yeah not really.

This morning, after taking my shower and returning to the bathroom to dry my hair I noticed a collection of water droplets on the ceiling above the bathtub. I called the apt. office again to report it and they are sending someone out. I spoke with the same woman and she didn’t seem too concerned so my question is, should I be? I’m a little concerned about mold and mildew. I can’t breathe that stuff with my asthma. It’ll make me very very sick. Is serious amounts of mold growth possible?

If I get repeated reluctance to look into the issues by the apartment office what are my options? Who should I call?







…besides Ghostbusters

Call some guy you know who can patch it up for you.

[FallenAngel]

Oh no. If there’s a problem then they need to fix it. I don’t pay them over $1k a month for me to fix something like that myself.

[Shadoglare]

Yeah, serious amts of mold growth are both possible and likely, mostly inside the wall where you can't see it.

Take a shotgun to there head... They'll listen then. So will the cops

If the apt. manager doesn't listen, then call the management company's corporate office and complain.
