I own an apartment for a year and a half and a few months my room and very wet and it degrades a wall. The infiltrations of water are lodged under my coating !!! The wall in question is adjoining an unoccupied and dilapidated apartment next to mine. I have the agency involved but I do not know what to do and what are my rights.

Contact your insurance and report water damage. They will send an expert who will appreciate the extent of the damage and will normally identify the cause. Invoke, also, the insurance of the co-ownership. It is she, normally, who will turn against your neighbor.

Do not wait to act because we must not allow the situation to deteriorate.

FAQ - 💬

❓ What is infiltration of water?

👉 Infiltration is the process of water entry into the soil through the earth's surface. The water at the soil surface can originate from rain, snowmelt or anthropogenic activities (e.g. to regulate groundwater formation by artificial infiltration).

❓ What is infiltration rate?

👉 The infiltration rate is a measure of how fast water enters the soil, typically expressed in inches per hour. For initial in-field assessments; however, it is more practical to express the infiltration rate as the minutes needed for a soil to absorb each inch of water applied to the surface.

❓ What affects infiltration?

👉 The main factors that influence the infiltration are:

  • the soil type (texture, structure, hydrodynamic characteristics). ...
  • the soil coverage. ...
  • the topography and morphology of slopes;
  • the flow supply (rain intensity, irrigation flow);
  • the initial condition of soil humidity.

❓ What component of the exterior wall assembly prevents water from entering the wall around openings?

👉 End-Dam: Any element, or combination of elements, designed to prevent rainwater collected by a through-wall flashing system from entering the dry zone of an exterior wall system or assembly at wall penetrations (such as window openings), building corners and similar terminations is a single line of flashing.

❓ What are the types of infiltration?

👉

  • Infiltration basin.
  • Infiltration trench (a.k.a. infiltration gallery)
  • Dry wells (a.k.a. infiltration tubes, french drains, soak-away pits or soak holes)
  • Underground infiltration systems.

❓ What is an example of infiltration?

👉 Groundwater (infiltration) seeps into sewer pipes through holes, cracks, joint failures, and faulty connections. Stormwater (inflow) rapidly flows into sewers via roof drain downspouts, foundation drains, storm drain cross-connections, and through holes in manhole covers.

❓ How do you calculate infiltration?

👉 Compute infiltration rate (I) by dividing water depth (H) by elapsed time (t). I = H/t 5. Record any relevant observations about the site condition, including amount and density of vegetation, evidence of soil compaction, etc.

❓ How is water infiltration measured?

👉 A relatively simple and accurate approach is the ring infiltrometer method. A metal 'infiltration ring' is pushed into the soil. Water is poured into the ring, and the rate at which the water soaks into the soil is measured.

❓ Can water seep through concrete wall?

👉 POURED CONCRETE WALLS typically leak along the joint between the floor and the wall. High hydrostatic pressure outside the foundation can cause water to seep through solid concrete walls. It will also force water into the basement along the crack between the floor and the walls.

❓ What is a barrier wall system?

👉 The term 'barrier wall' is used to refer to a system of external wall assembly that maintains weather-tightness by preventing the intrusion of air, water and vapour.

❓ What are the two components of infiltration?

👉 Common infiltration practices include drywells, bioretention, permeable pavement, infiltration trenches, infiltration basins, and subsurface infiltration galleries. Regardless of their form, all infiltration systems have three primary components: storage, treatment, and infiltration.

❓ How can the process of infiltration be continued?

👉 The process of infiltration can continue only if there is room available for additional water at the soil surface. The available volume for additional water in the soil depends on the porosity of the soil and the rate at which previously infiltrated water can move away from the surface through the soil.

❓ How to deal with water infiltration in the walls?

👉 First, it is necessary to identify the source of infiltration which requires the experience of an expert building contractor. There are different techniques to remedy water infiltration. Waterproofing the walls First, you need to clean your outside wall before applying a protective layer.

❓ Do you have a water infiltration problem in your basement?

👉 There are several reasons why water infiltrations occur, so if you notice the following problems on your walls or on the floor of your basement, you definitely have a problem; – Moisture signs on walls, excessive condensation on windows and piping – Poor soil drainage, leakage of rainwater into the basement

❓ What are the consequences of water infiltration?

👉 Water infiltration consequences 1 Mold, fungus and bacteria; 2 Negative effects on the residents’ health; 3 Weakening of the building’s structure; 4 Weakening of the building envelope’s insulating capacity; 5 Depreciating resale value of your home; 6 Legal proceedings for having a latent defect not being declared to the home’s buyer.
