Condominium board guide · Water protection
Approve a scope the next board can understand.
A water-protection proposal should explain the building problem, the proposed work and the responsibilities that continue after installation. This checklist helps a board or property manager prepare a clear discussion with the providers before making a decision.
Write down the problem being addressed.
Describe the confirmed issue using the building’s records. Separate active water response, source investigation, recurring domestic water pinholes and the need for earlier alerts. Ask the provider to connect the proposed approach to that problem.
Include the leak history, current investigation findings and any significant gaps. A proposal should not turn an unconfirmed water stain into a proven pipe condition or treat an example building as evidence of your own property’s results.
Read installation and ongoing service together.
For LEaC Shield, identify the equipment and installation scope, qualified-trade work and commissioning responsibilities. Then review the separate ongoing servicing arrangement, including treatment supply, equipment maintenance and owner obligations.
ProShield coordinates installation and commissioning. LEaC Shield provides the ongoing corrosion-control servicing under its own agreement. Record which provider answers each question so that an unresolved item does not disappear between scopes.
- Systems and equipment included in the proposal
- Plumbing, electrical and installation work included
- Configuration, commissioning and operational checks
- Ongoing service, equipment ownership and treatment supply
- Owner access, repair costs and other responsibilities
Confirm the building arrangements before work starts.
Identify the authorized project contact and how meter or boiler-room access will be provided. Confirm any building-system requirements, possible service interruption and occupant communication with the installation team.
If the building has planned plumbing or mechanical work, share it early. The proposed arrangement and schedule should reflect known work rather than being approved in isolation.
Ask how a service issue will be handled.
Review service frequency, contact details, the process for reporting equipment concerns and how an active leak is handled. The supplied LEaC Shield terms leave repairs and associated leak costs with the owner; confirm the terms of your own agreement.
For a sensor or shutoff proposal, review the alert recipient, backup contact, valve-control decision and maintenance responsibility. Avoid assuming that an alert will be monitored simply because a device can send one.
Keep a decision and handover record.
Record the proposal version reviewed, the approved scope, unanswered items and the people responsible for the next steps. Ask which installation and commissioning documents will be provided, and store them with the service agreement.
Pricing and timing depend on the property and agreed work. Compare the actual installation and ongoing service scopes instead of relying on a public example price or a guaranteed saving. A clear record helps future managers understand both the decision and the obligations that continue.
Questions people ask
What should the board review before approving a LEaC Shield proposal?
Review the building evidence, included domestic water systems, equipment and installation scope, commissioning, ongoing service, owner responsibilities and the arrangements needed for access and any interruption.
Can an example project price be used as our building budget?
An example proposal is not a standard price list. Equipment, installation and ongoing service depend on the assessed building and the agreed scope.
What should be retained after installation?
Keep the approved scope, installation and commissioning records, service agreement, contacts and unresolved actions together so that a future board or manager can operate from the same information.
