George,

It seems to me that we may be putting a band aid on the whole hot water tank
"sore"/problem.

What is the point of putting a membrane only in front of the heaters and the
small raised area behind them, rather than completely on the floor and
cracked wall around the back of the heaters (360 degrees)??

When the first water emergency occurred several months ago and water was
pouring into the gymnasium and my apartment... and AGAIN when it occurred 2
weeks ago....I went up to the plant room (I was the only one aware of the
problem and thankfully had access to the plant room!), the area behind the
heaters was completely saturated with run off from the heaters.  You saw the
water yourself!  If one of these heaters explodes again (as occurred the
first time), the floor behind the heaters will once again become saturated.

There is no problem in gaining access behind the heaters.  There are a few
pipes but not enough of a problem for a contractor to apply a sealant.  A
very easy solution to avoid perhaps another insurance claim.

I just want it stated for the record that I believe we are doing a half fix
of the problem.  The whole floor area around the back of the heaters and the
cracked wall, adjacent to the right-hand side heater, should have a complete
membrane applied.

Regards,

Craig Laforest

Good morning Craig,

Yes you are correct about our discussion. Though when the contractor arrived
he found it was impossible to access the area behind the heaters not because
of the heaters but the plumbing infrastructure. Therefore moving a heater
out of the way would not have made a difference. The entire infrastructure
would need to be modified or temporarily redirected to allow the contractor
to access that area. 

He provided another means to contain water from leaking which evdiently
functioned under duress yesterday. I will take a few photos today and
present to the Committee.

I will check the penetration behind the heaters to confirm if it has been
sealed and will deal with accordingly.

Maxine, would you be kind to inform the insurer that a 360deg membrane hob
has been installed around the pre heaters to prevent waste penetrating the
lower levels.

Hello George,

I have had no further problem from water pouring into my apartment.

I noted today, when I went up to the plant room, while the guys from hot
water company were there, that the membrane has only been painted onto the
surface in front of the heaters.

When you and I spoke we agreed that the membrane cover would also be applied
at the back of the heaters  (and around the drain that is located there) and
the side wall because there was some uncertainty as to whether or not the
water was actually leaking from that area into my apartment also. Would you
please explain why this wasn't also done.  It seems to me ridiculous that
while two heaters were taken out (and drained) that area we discussed was
not also sealed.

I look forward to your response.

Regards,

Craig Laforest

Good Afternoon All,

This morning pre heater no 2 was replaced under warranty. This was
in-addition to last weeks replacement of heater No 1.

You may be aware that when heater no 1 leaked water penetrated apartment
601. Then a week or so later when heater no 1 was being emptied before being
replaced water also penetrated 601. 

Late last week I arranged for an additional hob to be installed and
membraned around the heaters.

Today during the emptying of water in heater no 2, water pooled but was
contained within the membraned hob. I made an attempt to contact Craig (601)
by telephone and door knocking but was unsuccessful. 

Craig would you mind confirming if your apartment was affected by the water
in the plant room?.
