  • B.C. Stratas Prepare for Winter Storms

    As we head into winter here in North Vancouver, I often discuss with clients the importance of proper strata maintenance—especially for those living in condos and townhomes. Strata corporations have clear responsibilities for common property: balconies, patios, drains, gutters, and other building systems are typically under their care, as outlined in the bylaws. Meanwhile, owners usually look after their own patios—regular sweeping and cleaning, plus annual surface maintenance are key.

    From my experience advising both local and international buyers, I can’t overstate the value of prevention: annual flushing of surface drains and parking garages is essential, as storm debris and landscaping growth quickly accumulate. It’s a lot more cost-effective than scrambling for emergency repairs mid-winter.

    If there’s ever water damage to your unit, the first call should be to the strata’s insurance. If the loss falls below the deductible, your own homeowner policy usually comes into play. And when flooding affects patio walls, doors, or cladding, responsibility may shift back to the strata—another reason why proactive service agreements and regular inspections are so important.

    Having worked with families from all backgrounds, I know that understanding these details can make a real difference in protecting your investment throughout the winter season.
