I was surprised when I got a knock on my apartment door tonight. A maintenance person from my building was checking to see if i had a leak during the big rain storm today. I was like, “what? Leak, no I am fine”. Then I figured I would check out what he was talking about. Sure enough I had a small leak near my celling in my bathroom. Turns out some entrance to a deck on the floor above me flooded and the drainage system couldn’t accommodate as much water as was trying to get into it. The pent up water started leaking into my apartment and i believe another one or two on my floor. It was a small leak, but it flooded my bathroom a decent amount since it was constant for a while. I had no idea about the flood until the second or third time i checked on the leak and wondered why my feet were wet!
The maintenance guys were fantastic. They came and mopped and cleaned everything up, and they are going to call me during the week to arrange to come in to fix the marks the leak left.
I am glad I got home before it poured since I was out shopping in the afternoon before the rain began.
