What Is Different About Plumbing In A Shared Building.
Shared Walls And Floors
Pipes in a multi-unit building can run through walls or ceilings shared with a neighbor. A leak can show up in a different unit than the one it started in, so tell your neighbor and your association early.
Who Owns Which Pipe
In many associations the owner handles pipes that serve only their unit and the association handles shared lines. The exact split depends on your governing documents, so read them or ask your management company before you approve a repair. California's Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act is the state law that governs most associations like this.
Water Shutoffs
Many units have a shutoff valve for the whole unit and a smaller valve at each fixture. Find them before there is a problem. If you cannot find a unit shutoff, ask your association where the building shutoff is.
Water Heaters In Tight Spaces
A townhome water heater can sit in a garage, a closet, or a utility alcove. Limited space affects how a repair or replacement is done, so a photo of the unit and its label helps when you call.
Before you call about a leak, look for the usual signs. A water meter that keeps moving with every fixture off, a stain on the ceiling below an upstairs bathroom, and a damp smell in a cabinet all point to a hidden leak. If a neighbor's unit may be affected, take photos and note the time, because your association and insurer will likely ask.
We find and fix the plumbing problem. Questions about who pays for damage between units are handled between the owners, the association, and the insurers, so we suggest you contact them early. Plumbing repairs themselves follow the California Plumbing Code, which is based on the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC).
If You Have A Burst Pipe Or Active Leak.
Shut off the water at your unit valve if you can reach it safely. Then call our 24/7 line, and tell your association or neighbor if water may be reaching another unit.

It depends on your association's governing documents and on what the pipe serves. Pipes that serve only your unit are often the owner's responsibility, and shared lines are often the association's. Check your documents or ask your management company.
Many associations ask for notice or approval when work touches shared lines, and some set rules for work hours. For a non-emergency job, check with your management company first.
