This was several weeks ago and I kept meaning to post about it. I experienced the leak on a Sunday morning about 1:30 a.m. When I looked up, a hole had started to form in the ceiling. I called my upstairs neighbor, who was also up (we keep the same middle of the night hours). She saw no evidence of a leak, but I understood why because a couple of years ago, my toilet was leaking into the furnace room from a broken piece in the middle of the underside of the commode. Good thing the leak stopped almost immediately.
Blessedly, our management company has an emergency number and the operator contacted our repairman right away. He called me a half hour later and set up an appointment to come the next day. He and his brother own the company and had done work in my apartment before They and their team do excellent work. The plumber brother told me that the leak had been going on for a while. He could see some bulging in the ceiling that we hadn't even noticed, in a much larger circumference than seen in the top picture. Look how perfectly the ceiling was repaired and painted.
After that work was done, I had the older brother come back and replace my vent fan that had stopped working. He suggested fans I didn't even know were available. I'm glad I chose the lighted one to replace the old style vent fan. That install necessitated having his worker come in the next day to finish repairing and painting part of the ceiling again.
