Condo Water Leak

Strata Leak Investigation

Strata Leak Investigation

In a strata building, a leak is also a question of responsibility and record. The investigation establishes the source and documents it in a form councils, managers and insurers can act on.

Symptoms we're called for

  • Water in a unit or common area with no visible source
  • Recurring damage after previous repairs
  • Unit-to-unit disputes about cause and responsibility
  • Insurer or warranty questions needing evidence

Property types

  • Strata corporations and townhouse complexes
  • Mixed-use and rental buildings under management
  • Common property: risers, parkades, roofs, envelopes

Methods used

  • Acoustic correlation on pressurized lines and risers
  • Thermal and moisture scanning across shared assemblies
  • Zone isolation to narrow the failing run
  • CCTV or borescope inspection of accessible drains

Limitations, stated plainly

  • We locate and document; repairs and remediation are performed by licensed trades
  • Shared-assembly responsibility is a legal question; our report provides evidence
  • Access to units requires owner or manager coordination

What you receive

  • An evidence-based written report for councils and insurers
  • Zone-by-zone findings with photographs and readings
  • Clear next steps for repair and verification

Next steps

  • Circulate the report to council, manager and insurer
  • Commission the repair with the relevant trade
  • Re-verify after repair to close the file
