Vacant suite
Empty suites fail quietly. The suite below hears them first.
Heat turned down, cabinets closed on exterior walls, and nobody home is a regular winter pattern. The corporation should know which units are vacant.
Know which suites are empty.
A simple list with a key contact prevents a January surprise.
Heat and cabinet doors are cheaper than a ceiling.
Deep-cold practice for exterior vanities is a building conversation, not a secret.
A leak in a vacant suite is still a building call.
The occupant below should not be left to hunt a neighbour who is in another country.
Questions people ask
Should we shut the water off in vacant suites?
That is a corporation policy question. If you isolate, someone has to remember before the occupant returns.
Is this the same as a pinhole program?
No. Freeze bursts and pinholes are different failures. Both still need a log.
