Reply To: Who’s responsible for water pipe before it meets my meter?

Thanks Kaindub, I now accept that the pipe, because it services only my Unit and is within the boundary of the Lot, is my responsibility. I would now like to know if, because it was built as part of the initial construction of the building, any failure of pipe (not caused by a specific action by anyone), can be classed as a ‘Building Defect’?

If it could be a building defect who is responsible for repairing it and addressing any consequential damage?

Is there a time limit since construction for a problem to be classed as a building defect?

Appreciate your and anyone’s thoughts. Geoff
