Hi, i have a question in relation to who repairs water damage in a unit.We had a water pipe leaking inside a common wall, which penetrated into my unit. Paint bubbling & peeling off the wall, the swelling of skirting boards, and water damage timber floor boards.
I assume you are in NSW and the Strata insurance for NSW excludes wall covering (weird I know) but it would cover the skirting boards. Not sure about timber flooring as generally floor covering (fitted carpets are) are covered by contents policy.
BUT whatever the insurance exclusions the OC is responsible for all the repairs as it was caused by a leaking common pipe which the OC were responsible for and so they have to pick up the bill.
