A mum was left ‘disgusted’ after dog urine poured through her ceiling from the flat above and short circuited her electricity.

Natasha Mason, 27, said she has to keep her disabled two-year-old son, Alfie, confined to the living room as dogs continue to wee on her neighbour’s floor.

The full-time carer said the problems first started on Tuesday when a leak appeared around the smoke alarm in her Swindon council flat.

She said: ‘It was not dripping through, it was pouring. It was like a downpour, as if the dog was weeing straight through a hole.


‘I was in a panic and I did not know which way to turn. I was in shock.’

After the flow had stopped, Natasha went to her son’s bedroom and tried to turn the lights on, but realised the electrics had been damaged.



She called an electrician but when he took apart the smoke alarm, he became covered in the urine.

‘He said if he had known what the cause of the problem was he would not have come,’ she added.

Despite an electrician, plumber and the council inspecting the flat, the problem has not been solved, she claimed.

Alfie suffers from global development delay and has suspected autism.

Natasha, who has lived in her flat since May last year, said her neighbours moved into the flat above hers in June.

A Swindon Borough Council spokesman said: ‘We have visited Ms Mason on several occasions since this unpleasant situation was brought to our attention.

‘We have spoken to her neighbour who regrets the whole matter and has promised to ensure it does not happen again. However, we will continue to monitor things.

‘Ms Mason’s neighbour has cleaned his floor upstairs, but we need to ensure the ceiling is completely dry before we can carry out any electrical repairs.’
