Remember to take lots of pictures and videos to record the damage as it occurs. This assist both insurance specialists and repair and maintenance crews to locate and repair the damage. Plus stay safe!

This conversation was recorded during the March 2022 weather event on the east coast resulting in widespread flooding and water damage. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the recent weather events and flooding. Please stay safe.

I’m speaking with David Nixon from Stormwater Sydney about addressing flooding and water issues in strata properties.

David talks about what damage he is currently seeing in strata buildings around Sydney and what residents and committee members can do now as the rain is still falling and is forecast to continue to fall over the next few days. If you see water damage or flooding occurring in your building, what should you do?

We then speak about what to do when the sun comes out again – preventative measures you can take and how to mitigate damage from floods during future events.
