The condominium corporation is responsible for always keeping an adequate reserve fund available to fund major repairs to the common property as required.

Frozen water line - TIPS At this time of year, a water line interruption is usually caused by HEAT TAPE FAILURE above ground. Make sure your heat tape is working on the entire line, your heat tape breaker is turned on, and there are no gaps in your skirting to let cold air in under your house. Here are some tips to help you through a freeze: Make sure that any current system to keep the pipes warm is working. Heat tape, insulation, etc. Your heat tape should feel warm to the... touch. Check that your circuit breakers are on. Did someone unplug the heat tape by accident? Check if you have any water in your kitchen, bathroom, toilet or washer. If you have no water anywhere it is probably the main water line. This would indicate an issue with your heat tape. If it doesn’t, make sure the outlet that the heat tape is plugged into is working. If you have a thermostat on the heat tape, make sure that it isn’t located in a warm spot preventing the heat-tape from coming on. If none of these suggestions solve your problem, then you’ll probably need to replace the heat tape. - Skirting If you are getting some water in some parts of your house then the likely culprit is a tear or opening in your home’s belly bag that is letting cold air reach a nearby waterline. Are there any holes or gaps to allow the wind to get in and freeze your pipes? - Turn up the furnace, turn on the fan, and position all your vents down so that warm air is directed into the belly of the home - If you find a pipe that’s frozen, it’ll usually be very cold to the touch. If you have a heat gun - like those used in stripping paint they work exceptionally well on a medium setting. NEVER USE an open flame, like a torch. While thawing, have an open faucet so you can tell whether or not you're succeeding - If you do not have a heat gun, get as close to your frozen water pipe as possible and position a hairdryer on the frozen section. A hairdryer will take a long time but it is likely the safest and most handy way to get a thaw. Keep in mind that you won't need to 100% thaw the pipe, just get it flowing a bit. Flowing water will remove the ice faster using a hairdryer to thaw the entire frozen section. When your line is thawed, wrap pink insulation around the pipes and let the water run for a few minutes every once in a while to help stop ice build-up See more
