VA plumbing leak in ceiling in condo

If they haven't removed and repaired that section of the ceiling where you photographed, then it becomes a mold issue.... even if the leak was fixed. I would hold fast until that ceiling area was remedied..... mold can spread like wildfire... who knows how long that's been leaking for.

A legit well known plumbing company is coming tomorrow I trust them I'm sure it'll be fixed in time for closing on Tuesday now

I did an inspection and there was a water leak coming from the bathroom ceiling onto my head. Made it subject to repair the realtor said the prop manager went by and didn't see a leak. I said it has to be a plumber as it's active and needs to be remediated it was a steady drip-drip-drip. She just sent me an invoice from a plumber who said the same thing and they patched the hole ready for me to sign off. If it's from the upstairs unit maybe it's only going to be an issue when they use that pipe I don't feel like this is acceptable. What would you do?

I am not licensed and bonded plumber.

I would take the plumber's cert letter from my client and go back for final inspection. Just me.

Needs to work on his spelling and grammar. At least make it look legit

Good response from the VA I could not agree more

Resolution notes: Do not sign-off on anything you do not agree with. The Lender will have to contact the VA with proof that the matters address/stated on the appraisal have been satisfied/repaired and verified by them.

Thank you for posting the response, I am filing this in my VA folder.

I wouldn't lick the ceiling. LOL.

I would throw that liability on the plumber or whoever licensed professional fixed the problem and include in my final inspection.

If you do your due diligence, then the liability shifts hugely to the licensed contractor and underwriter.

I'll give you example. VA won't accept approval from appraiser on foundation issues. VA reps have told me they have lost more money on foundation issues than any other issue.

Are you with me?

Okay, for your file, Foundation issues are usually very expensive to repair.

This does not look real expensive to repair. I have a very small view. The source of the problem is more important. Whoever repaired the source of the problem could help you shift liability.

Do you understand?
