Our next-door Indian neighbour complained loudly that the outdoor air-condition compressor unit installed on the wall outside David's room was responsible for causing water to leak out of the wall in his kitchen.
A few pieces of wall tiles in his kitchen had cracked and according to him clear water has been sipping out through the cracks. The water would collect in a pool on the floor in the morning. However in the day time there is no leaking. The condition that he described is exactly the same as the recurring water leakage problem in our kitchen last month.
He insisted that the mounting of our air-cond compressor unit was responsible for the water leakage. Not possible as the leak is on the ground floor and our air-cond compressor unit is mounted at ceiling level of the first floor.
Just to avoid turning the matter into an ugly issue I told the neighbour that I would relocate the unit away from the common party wall to another place. I asked Anna to give the air-cond contractor a call tomorrow to fix an appointment for the relocation work.
Actually I believe that it is his concealed water plumbing that has sprung a leak. After some time the pressure from the leaking water caused the tiles to crack. That explains why the water that used to seep into our kitchen has stopped. The leakage water is now entering his unit through the cracks in the wall tiles.
