1. Do I get my own plumber in to confirm what the issue is? (I'm thinking yes)
2. Is a membrane issue my problem or the condo board's problem? My extremely general understanding of condo issues is that everything from the paint in, is mine and my cost to repair/upgrade. Membrane obviously falls "outside" the paint... But the property manager definitely made it sound like it's my issue to deal with.

Not to be rude, but did you read your bylaws? It will say in the bylaws. In my experience property managers will push any/everything back against the unit owners.
