Who we help
Plumbing maintenance for body corporates & strata
Shared pipes, shared problems. We keep body corporate plumbing running, help sort out what is common property and what is not, and report back in a way the committee and your strata manager can actually use.
In a community titles scheme, a leak is rarely just one lot’s problem. Under the Body Corporate and Community Management Act, plumbing that services more than one lot is common property and the body corporate’s responsibility, while pipework inside and servicing a single lot is usually the owner’s. We work with committees and strata managers to maintain the common property plumbing, respond fast when something affects multiple lots, and provide the documentation to keep owners informed and recover costs. The aim is fewer surprises, fewer special levies, and a building that keeps running.
What you’re dealing with
- Working out what is common property and what is the lot owner’s
- After-hours leaks that affect more than one unit
- Ageing shared stacks, hot water plant and pumps
- Backflow and compliance that cannot be allowed to lapse
- Owners and tenants wanting answers, fast
- Keeping costs predictable and avoiding special levies
How we help
Common property, sorted
We help establish whether an issue is common property or a lot owner’s, so the right party arranges the work and the finger-pointing stops.
Fast response across the scheme
When a leak or blockage hits common property or several lots, we attend quickly, make safe, and keep the building running while we resolve it. If the committee likes, we can provide QR-code magnets or common-area signage so residents can book a job or reach a plumber the moment something goes wrong.
Compliance kept current
Backflow testing, hot water and the recurring items scheduled and recorded, so the scheme stays compliant and the committee is not chasing due dates.
Reporting the committee can use
Clear records of what we found and did, ready for the strata manager, the committee, and any insurance or cost recovery.
Questions we get asked
Is the body corporate or the lot owner responsible for a plumbing repair?
As a general rule under the BCCM Act, plumbing that services more than one lot is common property and the body corporate’s responsibility, while pipework inside and servicing only one lot is the owner’s. We can help identify which it is on site so the right party arranges the work.
Can you respond after hours when a leak affects several units?
Yes. We treat leaks affecting common property or multiple lots as a priority, attend to make safe, and keep you informed so the committee and owners know what is happening.
Do you provide reports for the committee and strata manager?
Yes. You get a clear record of what we found and did, which helps with owner communication, insurance and cost recovery.
