Yes agreed. I have asked before what proportion of past water damage was caused by incidents that would not be picked up by plumbing checks; that is - appliance failure and building mishaps. I have not had a response and so assume the directors have not evaluated this. Without this evaluation, I can’t see it was possible to assess whether the cost of the plumbing checks was worthwhile. Speaking of which, I have been asking since May how much has been paid to Planet Plumbing for the checks. I haven't got a conclusive response to that either. If it were possible to justify the cost of an "in house" plumber, then at least we might be able to increase response time when accidents happen, thus reducing the damage. DC
