The truth of the matter is that commercial water, air, gas and sewage leaks occur in many of the same ways as residential homes. The difference is that in general, the larger the facility, the more areas there are that leaks can take place. This is compounded by the fact that business owners may be losing money on a daily basis due to the leak. Water flooding an office area may make it so that people are not able to come into work. While many water leaks can result from huge storms and large amounts of rainfall, there are many other factors that can cause water problems. Many people think of catastrophic situations like a natural disaster when it comes to water damage. The reality is that even a small leak if gone unnoticed can cause just as much if not more damage than the largest storm.
