Strata & Commercial
Strata and Commercial Leak Detection
In a strata or commercial building, a leak is never just a leak: it is a question of which assembly failed, which unit or line is responsible, and what the evidence shows. Our job is to answer those questions precisely and in writing.
Symptoms we're called for
- Water appearing in a unit, parkade or common area with no visible source
- Recurring damage after a previous repair that did not hold
- Disputes between owners or units about responsibility for damage
- Sprinkler, riser, domestic water or drain line losses in shared assemblies
- Moisture readings that keep climbing despite ventilation or patching
Property types
- Strata corporations and townhouse complexes
- Property-managed rental and mixed-use buildings
- Commercial, retail and light-industrial premises
- Facilities with risers, pump rooms, parkades and shared services
Methods used
- Acoustic correlation on pressurized lines, risers and pump rooms
- Thermal and moisture scans across common walls, ceilings and slabs
- Pressure isolation by zone to narrow the failing run
- CCTV or borescope inspection of accessible drain and line interiors
- Tracer gas and dye testing for concealed or intermittent paths
Limitations, stated plainly
- We locate and document; repairs and remediation are performed by licensed trades
- Destructive access, if needed, is kept minimal and only with authorization
- Shared-assembly disputes are a legal question; our report provides evidence, not rulings
What you receive
- An evidence-based written report formatted for councils, managers and insurers
- Zone-by-zone findings with photographs and readings
- A clear statement of the located source or, when inconclusive, exactly what remains unknown
- Practical next steps for repair and follow-up verification
Next steps
- Circulate the report to the strata council, manager and insurer
- Commission the repair with the relevant licensed trade
- Schedule re-verification after repair to close the file
