Hi all, I’m looking for a bit of advice.
A flat two stories up from mine has installed a water pump that feeds all of their outlets (shower, toilet, sinks, washing machine, dishwasher …) from a loft storage tank. Alas, the pump seems to be sending vibration down the walls and into my flat. The result is a very low humming sound that lasts from 5 seconds to 30 minutes. This happens 20-30 time a day and is starting to do my head in! The flat in-between doesn’t seem to be impacted.
Unfortunately, the upstairs owner can’t afford to get the pump fixed at the moment and so I was thinking of offering to pay for the repairs for a quiet life.
Before I make the offer, I was hoping to get some thoughts on what might be going wrong here and what I might be getting myself into cost wise. I appreciate there isn’t much to go on here but any thoughts would be appreciated.
