Hello,

my first floor ceiling was damp/ and water was seeping down the corner. Contractor came and checked and said have to hack wall as suspected pipe abs leaking. Upon hacking found abs pipe not leaking, infact no idea where leaking come from. Now found out that neighbor next door is having leaking right at the same spot so the leak may infact come from her side

Q1: should i seal the wall or wait until leak is confirmed from neighbor?
Q2: should i just change the abs pipe anyways since already paid for the job?
Q3: if i ask someone to check and give quotation, do i have to pay anything if i dont hire him?
Q4: should i ask compensation from neighbor for the leak/damage to my house?
Q5: what happens if we cant find the leak from neighbor's house as well? Any ideas?
Q6: typically what would be the cost of this kind of service?
