^Once punched Jeff Kennett. Don't pick an e-fight
Hi guys, as the title suggests, I'm trying to make a claim against my body corp for reimbursement of funds for some plumbing work. I'm not really sure where I stand with all this, but here is what happened.
I was gardening, took a hatchet to a stubborn weed and in doing so, I ruptured a water main. The water main was at ground level, so the rupture wasn't because I blindly dug down with a shovel til I hit something.
I shut off the main, called a plumber, he fixed it up, I handed over the cash. Done.
The plumber then said that the main should be 300mm underground and that I should take it up with Body Corp / Real Estate agent etc. I checked with a friend who is also a plumber and was given the same advice.
I contacted the estate agent who instantly handballed me to the body corp. I'm a renter by the way. I'm now in initial email contact with the body corp and just clarifying some details about the property etc.
It's only $350 so I'm not willing to go to court or anything like that, but will this be like getting blood from a stone?
