What is Strata Plumbing?
Strata plumbing is plumbing that runs through shared properties. So if you live on a lot with four individual homes, but all of the plumbing connects to one central system, then you are part of a strata plumbing system.
For many homeowners, Strata Plumbing is a confusing topic that leaves many paying for damages that they are not liable for.
In this article, you will learn about what strata plumbing is, who funds it, as well as what services are usually covered by strata plumbing.

Navigating Strata Plumbing Issues
- Report the issue to the strata property board
- Ask the body corporate to call in a professional
- File a motion to request the repairs if the corporation takes no action
- Determine who is liable for the problem
Water leaks from one property to another
In a strata plumbing corporation, the owners’ corporation is held responsible for water leaks that affect multiple properties.
Leaking shower in a private unit
Since a leaking shower is not part of the overall plumbing system, the owner of the unit is typically considered responsible for repairing it.
Broken kitchen sink
Just like with the previous issue, since the sink is not directly connected to the shared system, the owner will be responsible for repairing it.
Water damage
Water damage is typically covered by strata plumbing as it is caused by an issue in the main system. However, this will vary depending on the agreement reached in the individual strata system.
Damp or mouldy spots
The same as with the previous issue. Damp spots are generally considered a system-wide issue, as it’s often a problem that requires piping upgrades.
