    I don’t have all the technical expertise to answer your questions.  But what I will say is that you need to be as open, transparent and accommodating as possible if you want the strata committee to help you in a timely way.  If someone from the Committee wants to inspect the problem, then let them inspect.  They are hardly going to rush into paying to fix a problem that they’ve never seen.  If you end up in the Tribunal, you want to look like the good-guy, the person who has done everything possible to assist the Committee in its role.  You’re correct that this isn’t about “inconvenience” – it’s about maintenance.  But that’s not a reason to avoid an inspection.  The Committee is made up of volunteers.  Help them out by letting them inspect.  Offer to get some quotes.  Do whatever you can to move your issue forward and demonstrate to them (and possibly to the Tribunal in the future) that you are not being difficult and preventing the Committee from doing it’s job.
