A plumbing release or upstairs overflow can send water into an occupied apartment. Tenant belongings, ceilings, walls, and floors can become wet across unit boundaries. Cases include apartment ceiling leak, water from neighbor apartment, and apartment flood from upstairs.
If a ceiling drips after an upstairs plumbing failure, shut off the supply when safe. Technicians then inspect both levels and start the dry-out.
