Storm water has accumulated on my balcony and won’t go down the drain. It’s presumably blocked. Who’s responsible for repair, me or the strata? – Peter, NSW

Q: Storm water has accumulated on my balcony and won’t go down the drain. It’s presumably blocked. Who’s responsible for repair, me or the strata?

A: It will depend on where the drain is blocked. This will determine whether it is the responsibility of strata, or the lot owner.

Talk with strata and see if they can organise a plumber to come and check.
