Hello everyone, I recently engaged with a interior designer who handled my condo's renovation. It was around 80% completed when I moved in.

Today, when I reach home, I discovered my whole unit flooded. All the way from living room sofa, kitchen, master room and 80% of the whole area.

The pipes have probably leaked for hours by the time I reached home around 8pm.

I'm concerned about my new carpentry, furniture, floor tiles, or any other water damage. I know my unit will never be the same anymore.

I'm very depressed. Please help guys...

What should I do? I spent so much money into this renovation...

Can I sue the contractor for all the water damage? They are just a sole proprietor...

Please help...



Update:
Contractor came the next day and found the issue. He claims the copper pipe (linked to water tank heater) vibrates a lot which eventually lead to the pipe fitting getting loose over time (I just moved in like 10 days). He said he will tighten the fitting and add additional support to the copper pipe to reduce the vibration so it doesn't happen again. I have no idea if this contractor is just bullshitting or not.



The fix (new update):
Contractor "tighten" the fitting/connector and added additional support all around the pipes. Does this solve the problem permanently? I have no idea. Everyday i enter my house, there is a dark cloud floating on top of me, wondering when the next leak will happen again. I will most likely get another consultation from another plumber soon.

Any idea how it will leak to downstairs? Does the damage come from me or can I claim that from contractor?

Does that involve entirely replacing the floor spc?
