Sanitary and storm drainage systems shall drain waste products to a public sewer or private sewer disposal system as per the design.

One-Year- Work and Materials. Two -Year – Delivery and Distribution Systems

Drainage systems not meeting the acceptable performance shall be repaired.

Obstructions can occur due to many causes. Only those resulting from defects in work or material supplied by the builder are eligible for warranty coverage; inappropriate use by owners is not covered by warranty.

Plumbing and sprinkler pipes exposed to freezing temperatures should be protected so the fluid inside does not freeze.

One-Year – Work and Materials. Two -Year – Delivery and Distribution Systems

Plumbing and sprinkler pipes not meeting the acceptable performance shall be repaired.

Some systems require draining as part of routine operations. Failure to drain may result in freezing that would not be covered by warranty.

Water flow velocity and system balance in domestic water pipes should meet the requirements of the Ontario Building Code and the design.

One -Year – Work and Materials. Two -Year – Delivery and Distribution Systems

Systems not meeting the acceptable performance criteria shall be repaired.

Excessive flow velocity is believed to promote pinhole leakage in pipes. A lack of balance can contribute to excessive flow in some pipes, with lower flow in others.

Piping system shall be installed to prevent damage due to condensation.

One Year – Workmanship and Materials

Piping systems not meeting the acceptable performance shall be repaired.

Pipes are typically insulated to minimize condensation formation.

If a cooling system is provided, it shall be capable of maintaining indoor air temperature at the temperature specified in the design for the geographic location of the building. Not all cooling systems are intended to run all year, so this requirement only applies to the portion of the year that the design indicates is to be provided with cooling.

One-Year - Work and Materials

Where the cooling system is not capable of achieving the acceptable performance, repairs shall be made.

Performance/Condition: Glycol levels/percentage shall meet with the requirements of the design.

One-Year - Work and Materials. Two-Year - Delivery and Distribution Systems.

If there is no reasonable evidence that the glycol levels were acceptable at the time of commissioning, then glycol levels not meeting the acceptable conditions shall be repaired.

Inadequate glycol levels sometimes indicate a leak in the system.

Air supply systems shall provide the air flow required by the design.

One-Year - Work and Materials. Two-Year - Distribution and Delivery

Systems not meeting the Acceptable Performance shall be repaired.

Typically a balancing report is used to demonstrate that a system meets design requirements.

Equipment that includes moving parts that might cause pinching or entrapment shall be guarded.

One-Year - Work and Materials. Two-Year - Ontario Building Code Health and Safety Violations

Equipment not meeting the Acceptable Performance shall have guarding installed.

Equipment shall be installed in such a manner that it can be accessed for maintenance. Clearances shall be adequate to permit required maintenance.

One-Year - Work and Materials

Equipment not meeting the Acceptable Performance shall be relocated or modified.

In some instances specialized equipment may be needed to access some equipment for maintenance; this is not warranted.
