Common-Element Investigations in Richmond

Common-property leaks — risers, mains, parkade lines, shared envelope — affect every owner and demand careful investigation. We isolate, test and document common-element systems with the rigour engineering and insurance reviews require. Reporting includes system schematics, defect locations, and a clear narrative of where common-element work ends and unit-level work begins. This is the data strata corporations need to scope responsible repair programs.

What strata leak detection typically finds in Richmond

Strata leak reporting for the very large stock of Richmond townhouse and low-rise concrete buildings.

Richmond's built environment — low-rise wood-frame condos, single-family on small lots, City Centre high-rises, agricultural in east Richmond — shapes how common-element investigations is delivered locally. Richmond sits at 1 m above sea level on the Fraser delta. The high water table makes slab leaks and basement seepage common, and the dyke-protected drainage system means stormwater issues quickly become structural ones. Construction is largely 1980s–2000s with growing concrete-tower density in City Centre.
