I’m having trouble with our plumbing and my HOA won’t respond to my complaints. Help?

We’re going to need a little more info from you here. Do you live in a condo or a single-family community? Are you an owner or a renter? As much info as possible would be useful.

I own a condo unit in Iowa. My HOA has a complaint system where we can submit our complaints but I have not received any response. I have been contacting them for over a week now. It is frustrating not to have a properly working plumbing system!

Sorry you’re going through this. That sucks.

That said, you should check your declaration and site map to see if your condo association is truly responsible for repairing the plumbing. Perhaps it is a responsibility that unit owners have? If you don’t know, you can ask your condo board. If they won’t reply to your complaints, try to look for them in person or attend a board meeting. This way, you can approach them personally. You also likely have a building manager or condo manager that you can ask for help.

If you can’t wait just have the plumbing fixed yourself and then bill your HOA afterward for reimbursement

What arnie920 said only works if your condo association is really responsible for plumbing maintenance and repairs. Otherwise, you’ll have to foot the bill yourself. Have you looked into your insurance policy? It might cover it depending on the damage and source.
