Most water ingress in Canberra apartment buildings is a drainage failure before it is a waterproofing failure. Remicon inspects and CCTV surveys stormwater systems, rectifies box gutters, overflows, downpipes and subsoil drains to AS/NZS 3500.3, and links each defect to the damage it is causing so the committee can act on one report.
Most water ingress in a Canberra apartment building is a drainage problem before it is a waterproofing problem. A box gutter with no overflow, a balcony outlet that clogs with leaf litter, a downpipe that discharges at the base of a wall, a subsoil drain that was never connected: each one loads water onto a membrane, a slab or a footing that was never designed to hold it.
Remicon manages plumbing and drainage for strata, commercial and government buildings as part of a full remedial scope. Licensed hydraulic trades carry out the works. Remicon diagnoses the failure, links it to the damage it is causing elsewhere in the building, and delivers the rectification as a single accountable contractor.
A blocked drain is a plumber's job. A blocked drain that has been flooding a balcony slab for two winters and is now presenting as spalling in the car park below is a remedial project. Remicon looks at drainage the second way.
In an ACT units plan, stormwater and drainage serving more than one unit or located in common property is generally the owners corporation's responsibility. Internal fixtures within a unit are generally the owner's. Where the boundary is unclear, our inspection documents the location and cause so the committee can determine responsibility with evidence rather than argument.
Are your plumbers licensed? Yes. All hydraulic works are carried out by licensed plumbers and drainers, coordinated by Remicon as the licensed builder responsible for the overall scope.
Do you do emergency callouts for burst pipes? Remicon is a remedial contractor, not an emergency plumbing service. For a burst pipe at 2am, call an emergency plumber. For the drainage defect that keeps flooding the same area, call us.
Can you set up a drainage maintenance schedule for our complex? Yes. Autumn gutter and sump clearing, annual CCTV of main lines on older complexes, and inspection of overflows before storm season are typical inclusions.
Do you handle the water damage as well as the drainage? Yes. Ceilings, linings, concrete and finishes damaged by the drainage failure are included in the scope.
Contact Remicon for a drainage inspection that scopes the defect and the damage it is causing in one report.
