Strata maintenance program

Planned plumbing care for your building, every season.

A yearly plan for the drains, pumps and equipment that cause the most emergency calls in strata buildings. Built around your building, with a written record council can use.

For strata councils, property managers and building owners across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.
What a program can include

Picked for your building, not a generic checklist.

Every building is different. We start from your equipment, your history and the problems that keep coming back.

Drain and stack cleaning

Scheduled jetting of kitchen stacks and main lines that build up grease, before they back up into suites.

Camera inspections

Camera checks of main sewer and storm lines to catch roots, sags and damage early.

Sumps, catch basins and parkade drains

Fall cleaning, plus pump, float and alarm testing before the rainy season.

Boilers and hot water

Boiler and domestic hot water checks, safety controls and recirculation pumps.

Water entry and shutoffs

Working main and riser shutoff valves, and checking pressure-reducing valves and water entry equipment.

Make-up air and rooftop units

Filters, belts, motors and burners on the units that keep corridors and parkades ventilated.
How it works

From walk-through to written report.

1

Walk the building.

We walk the building with your manager or caretaker, list the equipment and where it is, and hear about past problems.
2

Get a written plan.

What gets done, how often, and what residents need to know. Priced for your building. You approve it before anything is booked.
3

Scheduled visits.

We book around notices and access, and tell you before any shutdown that affects residents.
4

A report after each visit.

What was done, what we found, photos where useful, and what to plan for now, soon and later.
Why councils use it

Fewer surprises. Better records.

A program can’t stop every failure. It finds problems early and keeps the records that make decisions easier.
Fewer surprise backups and floods between AGMs.A building file that stays with the building when council changes.Written findings that help with budgets and depreciation report planning.One team that already knows the building when something goes wrong at 2 AM.
A few useful details

Good to know.

What does a program cost?

Every building is different, so we price the program after the walk-through. You see the plan and the price before you approve anything.

Are emergency calls part of the program?

Emergency calls aren’t part of the planned visits. They’re handled the same way as always, 24/7, and the building file helps whoever responds.

Can we start partway through the year?

Yes. We start with the work that matters most for the coming season, like sumps and drains before the fall rain.

Who gets the reports?

Whoever you choose: the property manager, council, or both. Our office can also share them online.
