Todd moved into this flat in January 2010. Since then, we have had 3 major plumbing issues in our building that have caused significant water damage to our flat. Thus, requiring repair.
The first issue arose in late August 2010, and resulted in the loss of our main bedroom for more than 2 months. The work was completed just before Thanksgiving. The second issue was in our guest bathroom and was noticed right before 2011 began. Work completed in late March 2011.
I reported this latest water damage in mid-May, and today they finally began the process of repairing it after fixing the water leak above us. The process is of several steps: 1) Send 2 or 3 parties to look at and measure the water damage to ceiling, walls and floors. Mark the area of plaster that needs to be removed. 2)Drill holes in wet floors and then install drying machine with hoses running to these holes as well as into the area of plaster that has been removed. 3) We run this dryer 24x7 for 2 to 3 weeks until the ceiling, walls and floors are dry. A representative of the drying company visits every 3-4 days to check the progress. 4) Dryers are removed and holes in floor are repaired. 5) Worker comes to mud up the wall that was removed. 6) After mud dries, painter comes to paint.
This process has taken approximately 3 months in the past. We'll see how this repair goes. Unfortunately, everyone involved is getting a hang of things now that we are on our third go-around.
