Episode Details

A Dublin homeowner faces a crippling €20,000 repair bill after a flood from a council-owned apartment upstairs—caused by a running tap and blocked sink—left his bathroom, floors, walls, and electricals in ruins. With the building’s insurance excess far exceeding the damage, and Dublin City Council refusing liability (claiming no negligence from their tenants), he’s stuck. The tenants, in social housing, can’t pay, and legal action feels impossible. Complicating matters: they say they’d reported plumbing issues to the council months prior, which went unaddressed. Now, he’s left living with hidden damage and an unfair burden, desperate for his home to be fixed.
