Water Leak

After an arduous week working on a (very interesting) computer science project, I came home on Wednesday night at about 11:30 to discover my closet had sprung a leak. Either something was leaking from the kitchen upstairs, or the sprinkler hose has sprung a leak. The leak was coming from the wall/ceiling inside my closet, and dripping down skipping across some clothes, and landing partially on my dresser. Most of it ended up on the carpet below, soaking it through. Thankfully the leak was only a bit of a drip, but it still managed to release quite a bit of water.

These photos above show how the leak had pulled down the paint off the wall. When the landlord’s person-who-does-things-for-him came on Wednesday night to have a look, he pulled this down, and a good lot of water came down with it. The other photo shows my dresser catching the water after my discovery.

It was left overnight to collect in a bucket after I emptied my closet. The following day, the plumber came to take a look. After tearing open the ceiling (below), it seems the source of the leak was a small hose in the fridge upstairs.
