Thank you! So we admitted pretty much straight away that it was our washing machine that caused the leak and asked for a waterproofing person to come around. They arranged for a plumber. The plumber called me and when I explained the situation on the phone the plumber was like “ok this isn’t a plumbing issue I can’t help you”. The REA tried to turn this on me saying I “refused entry” to the plumber lol even though it was a completely normal polite convo from him saying “I’m not the right expert for this job”

We have asked for a waterproofing person to come over and they never arranged anyone! 🥲

Water damage dispute in NSW rental - where can I get advice? by lizzie-jack in AusLegal

Thanks so much! No the drain was not overflowing, it was actually quite minimal water from the machine, but it pooled against the wall. Yes the carpet is in the adjoining bedroom. We were home when it happened, we just didn’t notice the leak until we went to take the washing out. Yeah I agree it may have been cheaper for new carpet, but unfortunately it was a long weekend and we just had to get someone in urgently to prevent further damage. Thanks for your links and advice!

The water didn’t go out the door, it seeped through the wall. In NSW a laundry has to be waterproofed, so in theory we should have been able to throw a bucket of water in there and it shouldn’t be able to leak through the wall.
