4. Preventive measures and key points for rights protection
Based on recent consumer complaint cases and lawyer advice, here is a special reminder:
1.seasonal inspection: Pipeline pressure testing should be completed before heating, and newly installed radiators need to be inspected regularly during the warranty period (usually 2 years)
2.Responsibility determination: According to the "Property Management Regulations", public pipes are the responsibility of the property owner, and home pipes are the responsibility of the owner (you need to check the details of the house purchase contract)
3.insurance claims: Home property insurance can cover water leakage losses, but the report must be reported within 48 hours and proof of repairs must be provided.
4.Rights protection evidence chain: Including proof of water leakage time (such as property report receipt record), loss list (required to attach proof of purchase), third-party inspection report
A typical case handled by the Beijing Chaoyang District Court recently showed that the owner must bear 30% of the responsibility for the expansion of losses due to failure to report repairs in time. It is recommended to start the evidence preservation process immediately after discovering a water leak, and secure the evidence through tools such as the "Timestamp" APP.
Through the above structured solutions, we can quickly respond to sudden water leaks and effectively protect our own rights and interests. During winter heating, it is recommended to check the status of the heating interface once a week to prevent risks in advance.
