- Q. Water line clogged in apartment building and backing up into shower drain and flooding the floor.
- A: This is an excellent question that I come across weekly. I've helped many clients with this issue. Since the property is in a condo association, the pipe may be what is considered a "common element" or "common area" pipe. If the plumber has determined that the pipe services other units at the Association, it will be a common element pipe. Thus, the Association will be responsible for paying for the damages, including the plumbers bill. These types of leaks may be destructive and affect other areas of your unit which may cause further damages. My recommendation is to document everything by taking photos, saving all invoices, and saving all correspondence with the association. Thereafter, immediately contact a Florida lawyer to open a claim.
- Q. Am I able as owner acting as contractor exempt from having contractor sign site plan that is accurate and correct?
- A: That is an administrative issue that may be determined by the local design and review board and local regulations. Please provide further information regarding the jurisdiction and local rules. The Florida Statute you cited is primarily for the regulation of licensed contractors and prohibits unlicensed contracting. As is stated in the statute, there is an exemption when "[o]wners of property when acting as their own contractor and providing direct, onsite supervision themselves of all work not performed by licensed contractors." This appears to be separate from the issue you have described pertaining to approval for the site plan.
- Q. I recently payed for a new septic system the estimate was 10900 . Now they are done they are trying to charge me double
- A: It depends on the terms of the estimate and the written agreement (if any). Unfortunately, contractors sometimes complete these sort of practices. It is important that you negotiate a contract clearly indicating the scope of work prior to hiring the contractor. Nevertheless, sometimes there may be a change order due to unforeseen circumstances. However, double the prices seems unreasonable. You must carefully review the terms of the agreement.
