Strata Plumbing Responsibilities

Since Strata and Body Corporate setups have multiple people involved, it can sometimes be difficult to determine who is responsible for what. Especially when we are dealing with paying for some unexpected maintenance or repair costs.

Let’s look at an apartment building example where the building’s plumbing and drainage systems need updating. The issue is affecting some of the apartments, but not the common areas. Sometimes, the body corporate takes care of this update, but if they lack the funds or motivation and some apartments are more affected by the issues, the owners of these apartments may fund it instead.

However if the issue affects the common areas as well, the responsibility falls more clearly to the Body Corporate. To create a bit more clarity, the general rule is, if the problem is within the borders of the owned property, or an apartment in this example, the apartment owner is responsible. 

However, if the issue is in a common area, or affecting multiple apartments, the Body Corporate should be responsible. 
​
We have composed a list of examples to highlight these scenarios.

Blocked sink or shower drains: This depends where the blockage is. For the shower, the drainage system sits under the floor, and is therefore out of the apartment borders - in this scenario, the body corporate should cover the costs. However the sink drainage is partially in the apartment, extending out of it. If the blockage is right under the sink in the trap, it falls on the lot owner to deal with the issue.

Leaking Tap: Just to highlight the previous point further, the tap is an internal fixture, therefore the responsibility for it lies with the lot owner.

Ruptured or leaking pipes: For any inside walls or floors piping issues, it is the location that usually decides who is responsible. If the issue is in the internal walls of the apartment, the lot owner needs to take care of it. If it is located in boundary walls, or walls between different apartments, the body corporate should cover the costs.

Mould or damp spots: Exactly the same logic applies here, the responsibility depends on which wall the issue lies, either internal apartment wall, or an external or shared wall.

​Flooding that affects multiple apartments: Let’s say the flooding started from a broken sink. If the flooding stayed within one property, the lot owner needs to take care of it, however, in this scenario the flooding has spread and is affects other apartments as well. Here, the body corporate should step in.
