Just got a call from a tenant this morning, there is a water main leak at on of my SFH.

The sawzall becomes your best friend because most plumbing leaks behind the walls can be a nightmare; which require much more than simply taking out a small piece of sheetrock to get to.

It was a wreck when we bought it with buckets in the fireplace because the roof was leaking so bad.

Having 100 more potential leak points would not go unnoticed.What's the roof made of? 

The tenant was very concerned they would get hit with a big bill but I never heard anything about so I’m guessing it wasn’t that bad and the leak didn’t seem like very much water.  

I'm currently 2 weeks away from finishing renovation and just got a call from my contractor stating that the common area of my unit had a pipe burst that leaked into my unit and ruined the entire flooring! 

.- We had leaks on 2 of our 3 faucets, we had a plumber try to tell us they had an O ring and could fix one of them.

Would love to hear suggestions for providers that work well with STR managers, and if you think General Liability Insurance is enough to protect against lawsuits in the event a guest gets injured at a property I manage, or damage occurs to their personal property as a result of a leak, fire, etc..

We did inform the hoa company along with the other things we noticed (a water main connection leaking at another property), along with the roof and gutter repairs of course. 

Maybe the water is getting in from behind the front bricks and in front of the inside bricks.If the walls are a sideways brick thick, they may be a double brick wall back to back with tie bricks holding them together (old fashioned way of building) vs modern veneer.Sometimes during construction the first floor is made with even wider walls to accommodate future upper stories.The layers of bricks will not have mortar between them (most likely, but who knows).So if you have water intrusion up higher, it may come down there and leak out behind the stucco and when it freezes bingo stucco pops off.The intrusion could follow an old window casing down and leak in a hidden spot under the sill and flow down, or on an angle.If you are using a good stucco contractor and he is baffled, this might be it....or it might not be it....Maybe affixing metal lath to the area might help--but if it is a water issue,,,that water will have to go somewhere, and if its bundled between the bricks when it freezes...the bricks might pop.Maybe shield the areas really well with plastic duck taped up there, and if the brick is wet or the taped cover holds water when you open it after a storm...you may have figured it out.
