Hi Sam, here are a few examples of water damage we've had: — refrigerator
in an upstairs condo was installed incorrectly and the ice maker gradually leaked over a 3 - day weekend, saturating the floor, insulation, and into the unit below — bottom floor of a
duplex was flooded when the sump pumps tripped the breaker
in the middle of the night — pipes burst
in a vacant unit shortly after we purchased it at foreclosure, saturating the carpet, pad, and drywall — upstairs unit shower had small crack
in shower pan which caused the ceiling to gradually saturate with water and tenant was slow to report the
issue

duplexes for a while, sound
issues are quite important
in long term happiness of tenants b) it will still be a significant improvement
in how it appears currently and c) the lower tenant I want to keep happy for reasons I detail here:
