What people ask
Strata plumbing in Ryde: access, leaks and shared drains
Strata plumbing usually means a leak or drain fault that crosses more than one lot or a shared service. We work with owners, tenants and strata or building managers to get access and fix it properly.
Typical cost
Strata work is quoted after we know the lots and services involved. Our labour rate is typically $120–$160 per hour, and leak detection with a written report is typically $300–$650.
Manjit DagarWho arranges access to the other units?
Usually the strata or building manager. Give us their contact and we will tell them which lots and service areas we need.
Water is coming through my ceiling from the unit above. What now?
Tell your strata manager and the owner above, and turn off the water if you can. The source can be a shower, a waste pipe or a supply line, so it has to be traced before repair.
Can you reline a shared drain?
Often, yes. We inspect the line with a camera first and tell the strata manager whether relining or a section repair suits the pipe.
On the job with PantherHow we can help
Practical help with strata plumbing
We investigate leaks, drainage faults and shared-service problems in strata properties. The affected lots and the pipe route show what access and coordination the job needs, whether it is inside a lot or on common property.
- Water leaking into a unit below
- Shared sewer and stormwater lines
- Common-property hot water and pipework
- Blocked drains affecting several lots
- Pipe relining for shared drains
- Work for owners, tenants, strata managers and building managers
Understanding the job
Finding the source across a building
Leaks from the unit above
Water through a ceiling can come from a shower, a waste pipe or a supply line, so the source has to be traced before repair.
Shared stacks and drains
When several units are affected, the problem is usually in a shared stack or the building’s main drain.
Ageing common services
Older buildings often have original pipework in walls and risers that needs inspection and planned repair.
What to expect
From first call to finished work
Tell us the building
Describe the affected lots, whether it is common property and who can authorise the work.
Trace the source
We inspect the affected areas and the pipe route, with a camera where the line is hidden.
Agree the scope
We explain the findings, the work needed and the cost to the person authorising it.
Checked and explained
We test the work, explain the result and leave the work area tidy.
Your property
Your property and the work
The Ryde area includes post-war homes, townhouses, apartment buildings and commercial premises. The right plumbing approach depends on your particular property, its existing services and the access available.
Access to affected lots
Let the strata manager know which units or common areas are affected. Access to more than one lot, a service riser or a locked plant room may be needed to trace the fault.
Plan a shared shutdown
If a shared water service must be isolated, the building contact needs to coordinate access and notify affected occupants. Tell us about any restrictions before the work is scheduled.

What affects the cost of strata plumbing?
The location of the fault, the number of lots affected, access to shared pipework and the repair method affect the cost. We explain the plumbing work required. The owners corporation or lot owner should confirm who can authorise that work and how it will be paid for before it proceeds.
Will you need access to another apartment?
Sometimes. Water seen in one lot can come from plumbing in another lot or a shared service. The strata or building manager may need to arrange access to the affected apartments and service areas so we can trace the source.
Is the repair the lot owner’s or owners corporation’s responsibility?
It depends on the location of the pipe or fixture, the strata plan and any relevant by-laws. Contact the strata manager before authorising non-urgent work. We can describe where the plumbing fault is; responsibility and approval should be confirmed for your building.
What should I tell you about the job?
The affected lots and whether it is common property. The strata or building manager’s contact. Access arrangements, parking and keys. Photos help with planned work; for anything urgent, call 0404 939 121.
