Working With Property Managers and Owners Corporations
We know you’re juggling a lot of buildings, residents and committee members. So we make working with us as easy as possible.
Before we start, we’ll confirm access, timing and who needs to know. If residents need notice of a water or gas shutdown, we’ll help you plan it at a time that suits the building. Once the job is done, you’ll receive a clear summary of what we found and what we did, with photos where they help.
That record is handy for committee meetings, budgeting and working out who covers the cost. For a closer look at how shared and private pipes are usually split, our guide to strata plumbing responsibilities and who pays for what is a great place to start.
Shared Property Plumbing: Hot Water, Drainage and Gas
Shared systems keep every unit running, so they deserve a little extra care. Here’s how we look after the big three.
Hot water
Centralised hot water systems supply many homes at once. We service, repair and replace boilers, storage tanks, circulating pumps and the pipework that links them, so showers stay warm right across the building.
Drainage
Shared drain stacks, sewer lines and stormwater pits carry water away from every level. We clear, repair and maintain them, and our drainage team can reline or replace pipes when the time comes.
Gas
Many strata buildings share gas supply to plant rooms, common areas and individual units. Our licensed commercial gas plumber can test, repair and upgrade shared gas lines and issue compliance certificates for every job.
A regular maintenance plan is the easiest way to keep these systems in top shape. We can put together a schedule that fits your building and your annual budget.
Emergency Strata Plumbing
When something urgent comes up, our team is ready to help 7 days a week. Give us a call on 03 9012 5111 and a plumber will be on the way to your building as soon as possible.
While you wait, it helps to know where the building’s main water and gas isolation points are. We’re always happy to show your building manager or caretaker during a routine visit.
Compliance and Accredited Works
Strata buildings come with their own set of rules, and we’re here to make them straightforward. All of our work is carried out by licensed plumbers and gasfitters, with compliance certificates provided when the job is complete.
Our quality, environmental and safety systems are certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018, all brought together under PAS 99. We’re also proud to hold accreditation with Yarra Valley Water and Greater Western Water. Our accreditation covers live sewer property service connections and water mains, which comes in handy for new connections or upgrades to your building’s supply.
For apartment buildings with hydrants and hose reels, our fire services team can also help keep your essential safety measures maintained and ready for your annual report.
