Why strata plumbing is its own discipline
In a standalone house, a leak is a leak. In a Brisbane strata scheme it's also a liability question, an access question and a communication question. Before anyone picks up a tool, someone has to work out whether the failure sits in common property or inside a lot, get approval from the right party, arrange access to units that may be tenanted, and keep residents informed about water shutdowns.
Get that sequence wrong and a $400 repair turns into a disputed insurance claim and an angry committee meeting. We work the way strata needs us to: diagnose first, document with photos and CCTV, quote in writing to the party responsible, then repair with the minimum disruption to residents.

Strata plumbing Brisbane — FAQ
Who pays — the body corporate or the lot owner?
As a general rule in Queensland, the body corporate is responsible for common property, and the lot owner is responsible for everything within their lot boundary. For plumbing, that usually means shared stacks, common risers, mains and pipes servicing more than one lot sit with the body corporate, while the tapware, cistern and pipework serving only your unit is yours. The boundary is set by your community management statement and plan of subdivision, so we document exactly where we found the fault to make that call easy.
Do you work directly with body corporate managers and committees?
Yes. We're happy to be engaged by the committee, the body corporate manager or the on-site building manager. We provide written quotes suitable for committee approval, photo and CCTV evidence for the record, and clear invoicing to the correct party.
Can you attend an after-hours leak in a complex?
Yes, 24/7. In a multi-level building the priority is isolating the affected riser or lot without shutting down the whole complex if that can be avoided. We coordinate with the building manager on access and notify affected residents.
Do you carry out CCTV inspections of common stacks?
We do. Scheduled CCTV of shared sewer and stormwater lines is the single best way to avoid a complex-wide backup. We provide footage and a written condition report the committee can attach to its maintenance records.
Can you help identify the source of an inter-tenancy leak?
Yes. Water travelling between levels rarely enters where it appears. We use acoustic and thermal detection plus moisture mapping to find the actual source, which matters enormously when the outcome determines whether the body corporate or a lot owner pays for the repair.
Do you provide gas compliance for complexes with gas appliances?
Yes. We're QBCC-licensed gas fitters and issue Form 4 gas compliance certificates for common-property gas work and in-lot appliance connections.
