Who Pays for a Leak in a Condo?
In most condo buildings, the owner is responsible for pipes and fixtures that serve only their unit, and the association covers shared pipes like stacks and mains. The details are in your declaration. When water appears in your unit, the first job is finding where it comes from. We locate the source, repair it and give you a written explanation for the board and insurance.
What Affects the Price of a Leak Repair
Locating a leak between floors takes testing. Reaching it may mean opening a ceiling or wall. The pipe material and condition decide whether a repair or replacement makes sense. We find it and quote a flat price.
