Next time you are over, please remove the woodchips/small decorative stones etc from your terrace planters. During the heavy winds we have up here these woodchips and stones are blown out of the planters and into the terrace drains where they interfere with drainage. The result is that the drains block and the person in the apartment below you now may have severe water damage to the terrace ceiling and wall. I have been told that I must now go after the owners of the apartment above me to cover the cost of repairs. I have asked Sagesa to include in their next newsletter an appeal for the removal of woodchips/small stones from the planters. With the heavy rains and winds we have had here this past week there has been a huge problem with blocked drains.
Thank you all.
