What Can Be The Cause Of This Leak?
3 Answers
Hallo
Has anyone any ideas on what this leak could be. There is water leaking into my flat into the bathroom and hallway from the flat above, this happens every 4/5 days, by the time anyone arrives to look at it the flow has stopped and the cause cannot be found. It is a significant amount of water and would be coming from upstairs hallway/bathroom area.
Thank you

How regular is it ? Maybe some tank/heating system is overflowing on a 4.5 day cycle.
I think you need to get someone in to check the whole water system anyway, to look for possible causes even if they aren't happening while they are there.

There was a similar problem on here recently. That seemed to be from a boiler upstairs.
In your case, since it's flats, I guess there might be a bathroom directly above yours. You do need to talk to the people upstairs to see if they maybe run a bath or whatever at the times it happens.
I'm really just repeating what Eddie has said.
