Understanding commercial leaks and the damage they cause

Even the best maintenance team cannot be everywhere at once.  What’s more concerning is that many leaks are hidden from plain sight.  They are located underground, behind walls and underneath utilities.  Even a small trickle of water can cause thousands of dollars of damage to the property in which they are located.  In doing online research for this article our experts found a case study about a faulty boiler gasket on a top-level condominium with 87 different residents.  This small leak went unnoticed and resulted in a $600,000 insurance claim because of the water damage found at the property.  Although this is an extreme example of what water leaks can do, it is not unheard of for commercial properties to suffer large damage from a malfunctioning utility such as a boiler or water heater.
