If you can prove that a fault in the common property caused the damage, then you should be able to claim from the strata. So if you have the proof, give it to the strata manager and tell him/her to claim on strata insurance.

However, it may be simpler to claim on your insurance, and if they want they can deal with the strata insurance company.
