Maintenance Key In Preventing Leaky Condo Issues
October 26th, 2008As many people feel the leaky condo issues are behind us, they forget that the buildings they live in need to be maintained in order to ensure problems are minimized.
Rain-screen is great but not a guarantee of a problem free building. A lot comes back to Strata and making sure they are looking after the building properly. A major building maintenance company in Vancouver, BEMCO points out these issues in the article BEMCO experts spot problems in existing building envelopes – and in new ones, too.
When buying a condo, new or old make sure you investigate as much as possible the developer for past history, as well as read any and all strata minutes, engineers reports etc. to get a accurate picture of how the building is and has been performing, as well as how well it is being managed and taken care of.
Buyer must always beware, and don`t fall into the trap that all new buildings must be OK, it often has more to do with maintenance and a pro-active strata that anything else. Get involved in your strata, protect your investment.
