⚠ THE STRATA COUNCIL DILEMMA
One Undetected Leak Can Destroy More Than Just Suites, It Can Destroy The Board's Credibility.
Strata corporations are responsible for managing and maintaining common property and common assets. Where water damage results from a known, unaddressed maintenance issue, the CRT and BC courts have found strata corporations liable for negligence. That's a risk every council needs to take seriously.
What IRR provides as risk mitigation
A certified, documented monitoring system demonstrates proactive due diligence. The installation record, sensor deployment map, and insurer certification all create a paper trail showing the board acted on the risk and proactivly stopped flooding.
Duty of care under BC Strata Property Act
Once a risk is known and documented, failure to act can create personal liability for board members not just the strata corporation.
Rising deductibles and premiums after claims
Every water claim pushes deductibles and premiums higher — often for years. Deductibles have risen from $50K to $250K+ in documented BC cases.
Owner frustration and reputation damage
Water damage affects multiple units simultaneously. The board faces restoration disruption, insurance disputes, and unit owner anger all at once.
No early warning system = no defence
Without a monitoring system, the strata can't demonstrate proactive risk management. Insurers and courts both consider what steps were taken or not taken.

Why LoRa Wireless Changes
Everything for BC Buildings
Most leak detection systems depend on your building's WiFi. We don't. That one distinction is why insurers approve us and why it matters for every strata, every property manager, and every contractor who specs us.
The Question That Wins Every Comparison
"What happens to your system when the WiFi goes down during a flood event?"
For most competitor systems it stops working. For LoRa, nothing changes. The system keeps monitoring, keeps alerting, and keeps protecting on a dedicated radio frequency that has nothing to do with your building's internet connection.
