Good morning all,

We have completed the leak investigation on the cold-water supply 
pipework running through the common lobby areas. Inspection and testing 
confirmed the issue is condensation due to the humid weather. The 
plumbers have quoted $1,545.00 + GST to supply and install 65mm lagging 
to all sections of the cold-water pipework which is approximately 20 
meters in total. Case file and quotation attached for reference.

Matt, The pipework comes under the BMC so I'll need approval to proceed 
with the works. Thanks

Kind regards,

URGENT ACTION REQUIRED

Darren,

The problem is behind the fire hose door on each level.

Water is dripping down from the very cold pipes behind each fire hose 
door from level 8 A/C plant room through all levels. These cold pipes 
feed our air-conditioners and fire hoses. The boiling hot water pipe 
from the plant room tanks is also behind the same doors and is almost 
touching the cold water pipe on level 7 (see the first two pictures) 
creating the dripping down the walls and through the walls from this 
lobby area. Each other floor has exactly the same problem.

Each floor has new lobby carpeting which goes under each of the fire 
hose doors and they are wet with the condensation (see attached 
picture). The fire doors in the fire stairs on level 7 and 6 are 
starting to buckle at the top of each.

The cold water pipes *_must_* be lagged. Water is now leaking through 
the walls into the fire stairs.

You state that this has been an ongoing problem and I don’t understand 
why this hasn’t been addressed in the past. Was the Body Corporate 
informed please?

I am here on Tuesday so please let me know what time the plumber is 
scheduled to be here. Thank you.

Regards.

Hi Craig,

This issue has occurred during summer in past. The level 7 lift lobby 
area is like a glass house. The humidity causes condensation on the fire 
hose reel pipework which drips down through the cracks in the slab.

The rooftop plantroom was water tested recently at the same time as the 
western terrace so I'm confident it's not a waterproofing issue. We 
already have a plumber coming on Tuesday afternoon so I will have them 
double check the hose reel pipework for any leaks.

Going forward, we could look at lagging the hose reel pipework on level 
7 which will cut down on condensation build up. Thanks

Kind regards,

Hello Darren,

Today I used the fire stairs from level 7 to level 6 and noticed water 
running down the inside wall near the fire door entrance to level 6. I 
went back up to level 7 and looked behind “Fire Hose Extinguisher” door. 
Water is dripping down from level 8 (see pictures).

Did you visit our property today and did you see this when you visited?

Please have someone check this out asap.

Thank you.

Craig Laforest
