Planning For Hidden Water Intrusion Is Risk Management. Not Planning For It Is Risky Business.

Leaking buildings cost property owners and their insurers hundreds of millions of dollars annually in damages in the US and Canada. These costs are attributed to:

• Repair/replacement of structural components, finishes and furnishings
• Legal fees
• Relocation of tenants
• Indoor air quality and mold remediation
