Water coming through a condo ceiling after hours: the AI concierge call

At 9:47 PM a resident reports water running down her bathroom light fixture. The AI concierge tells her to stay out of the bathroom and away from switches, opens an urgent request and calls the on-duty technician. When he and the backup do not answer, it leaves a message, alerts the manager, tries again and connects the technician.

    Okay, Maria. I'm on it. Is the water coming in right now?

    Yes! It's still coming. It's running down the light fixture.

    Please stay out of the bathroom, and don't touch that light switch or anything electrical near the water. I've opened an urgent request, and I'm calling the maintenance tech on duty right now. If it's safe, put a bucket or towels down from the doorway.

    Javier, it's Quinn. Urgent request twenty-three eighteen. Active water through the bathroom ceiling in fourteen-oh-seven. Maria Delgado is on the line. It's probably coming from fifteen-oh-seven, right above her. Can you take it?

    Thank you. Thank you so much.

  19. Javier · maintenance2:34

    No problem. See you in a few.

What should a building do when water comes through a ceiling?

In this call the AI concierge deals with safety first, then keeps working the phones until a person owns the leak.

  1. Tell the resident to stay out of the room and not touch the light switch or anything electrical near the water.
  2. If it is safe, put a bucket or towels down from the doorway.
  3. Open an urgent request and call the technician on duty.
  4. If nobody answers, call the backup, leave an urgent message, alert the building manager and try the first technician again.
  5. Check the unit above. Here the technician goes to 1507 first to shut off the water from there.

These steps come from this one recorded call. Your building’s own policy decides.
