My post on this on Linken-in got 2,128 Impressions (whatever that means) and reached 1,420 members. Meanwhile, there’s another example of this knee-jerk, high-cost and unnecessary reaction to any leaks in any building HERE.
A few thoughts for committee members facing this dilemma:
1. Just because your building is more than 20 years old, it doesn’t mean your waterproofing has failed or will do so any time soon.
2. Just because you water proofing is leaking, it doesn’t mean it can’t be repaired.
3. Just because there is water ingress when it rains, it doesn’t mean it’s coming from the roof.
Strata buildings are complex – anyone who comes up with a one-size-fits-all response to water proofing problems is probably having a lend. The Building Commission needs to get on top of this before we’re in another strata insurance kickbacks or embedded network scandal.
