Prevention Tips
- Schedule annual CCTV inspections of common drain stacks - catching a riser problem early saves the body corporate tens of thousands
- Ensure backflow prevention devices are tested annually as required by Sydney Water
- Keep a plumbing maintenance log for the building - it helps identify recurring issues and plan capital works
- Educate residents about what not to flush - wet wipes, sanitary items, and cooking grease cause the majority of strata blockages
Common Questions
Strata Plumbing in Clovelly - FAQ
Yes. Steep common driveways in Clovelly strata blocks often have stormwater drainage that's been overwhelmed by years of runoff. The original drainage pits and grated channels may be undersized, silted up, or damaged. We inspect the common drainage, clear and assess the existing infrastructure, and provide a strata-format quote for any upgrades needed. Common solutions include upgrading pit capacity, adding additional surface drainage, and clearing or relining the stormwater line itself if it's blocked or damaged.
Yes. We provide condition reports formatted for body corporate approval: current state of common plumbing infrastructure, defects categorised as urgent, short-term, or capital works, before-and-after photos, and fixed-price quotes for prioritised remediation. For Clovelly blocks, the typical focus areas are common drainage on sloping ground, shared sewer connections, exposed copper pipework corroding from coastal humidity, and common hot water plant condition. Lead time is 1-2 weeks from inspection to delivered report.
Yes - we work with strata managers across the Eastern Suburbs. We understand the approval process, provide detailed quotes for committee review, and can attend strata meetings to explain recommended works.
Depends on where the problem is. Common property plumbing (risers, stacks, stormwater) is typically body corporate responsibility. Plumbing within a lot (taps, toilet, hot water) is the owner's responsibility. We can advise on the boundary.
Absolutely. We offer annual maintenance agreements including scheduled CCTV inspections, backflow testing, hot water plant checks, and priority emergency response. Preventative maintenance reduces emergency callouts by up to 60%.
Yes. We've managed riser replacements in apartment blocks across the Eastern Suburbs. We can often reline rather than replace, which is faster, less disruptive, and cheaper. We'll assess your building and present options to the committee.
Same 30-minute response as any emergency. For buildings on a maintenance agreement, you get priority dispatch and a dedicated contact number.
Yes - older Eastern Suburbs apartment blocks from the 1960s-80s are a big part of our work. These buildings typically have ageing galvanised steel or cast iron risers, original clay drainage, and copper pipework corroded by coastal salt air. We do CCTV riser inspections to assess condition, and can reline rather than replace where possible - avoiding the need to rip out residents' bathroom tiles. We'll give your committee a clear condition report with photos and a staged remediation plan.
We provide detailed condition reports with before-and-after photos, CCTV footage where applicable, and defects categorised as urgent, 30-day, or capital works. Our quotes are formatted for body corporate approval - clear scope, fixed pricing, and separated into common property vs lot-owner responsibility where needed. Everything your committee needs for AGM records and special levy justification.
Strata plumbing costs depend on scope. Emergency callouts are at standard rates with no strata surcharge. Annual maintenance agreements are quoted per building based on size and number of lots. Capital works like riser replacement or pipe relining are assessed and formally quoted for committee approval, with full documentation included.
