What if the neighbors are flooded from above?

Situations in life happen different, including emergency ones. Meanwhile, many are simply lost when something extraordinary happens. We panic and do not immediately understand what to do. If the neighbors are flooded, who should you contact first? How to solve the problem: peacefully or through a court? About all tell in order.

So, what to do if the neighbors are flooded, while you are at home? First of all, disconnect all electrical appliances from outlets, it is best to completely turn off the electricity. Then rush to the floor above and knock on the door. Only not with abuse and obscene language! To begin with it is worth to find out what's wrong. Suddenly the neighbor became ill or was not at home. By the way, on the way to the top floor you can dial the emergency dispatch service number and call the employee. He will record the very fact of flooding, describe all the damages and take the necessary measures to stop the water from pouring. If there are no neighbors, then the emergency attendant will simply block the riser. Then you can call the precinct officer, opening the apartment, but this is not your concern anymore.

If you are flooded by neighbors from the top, carefully consider the drafting of the relevant act. More precisely, it will be made by an emergency service worker , but you must ensure that every damage is indicated in it. This includes the damage of furniture, decoration, as well as household appliances and other valuables. Do not forget that one copy of this document should remain with you, the other needs an emergency service.

After five days, it is necessary to evaluate the damage once again. It is at this point that it will be seen best. You can call home a repair team if you plan to use their services. Oh, they quite often have to see how neighbors flooded the apartment. What to do with damaged covers, they know very well. When the repairmen arrive, invite your neighbors. You can try to agree on the ground, so to speak, amicably. The workers' brigade will be able to indicate the approximate cost of finishing works, you "estimate" the material damage in connection with the damage to furniture, and the neighbors will make their choice whether to agree to a peace treaty or not. If you come to a compromise, fix everything on paper. It would be nice to reassure her also from a notary.

What if the neighbors are flooded, but it is not possible to reach an agreement peacefully? Have to go to court. Only before that, you will need to prepare some documents. First, an appraiser is needed. He will be able to provide you with paper, where the cost of the forthcoming works will be indicated. Do not forget to collect checks, receipts left from the purchase of damaged furniture and equipment, and show them to the expert.

The report, which will be compiled by the appraiser, is the basis for demanding compensation from the neighbors for material damage. Try to apply to the court as soon as possible, this is also very important. The amount of damage to be determined through, say, six months after the "accident" will be much more difficult. To avoid evading the neighbor from paying the cost of repairs, ask the court to specify the specific amount that the defendant will have to give you every month.

Now you know what to do if the neighbors are flooded. But most importantly, remember: in no case do not swear with neighbors! Avoid saying threats to them and all the more extortion of money! Otherwise, you can become a defendant yourself in court.
