Leaks below the grade on your building are one of the worst possible problems you can face. They can easily go undetected, and because of their location they’re likely to get more water flow than leaks above ground. And they’re also hard to fix.

You wouldn’t go to a client meeting in dirty old clothes, or leave your store or office in a state of filth, or leave a bad first impression with someone you thought might be a customer. But you might be doing that same thing with your parking garage.

What do the Pantheon, the Hoover Dam, the Burj Khalifa, and your sidewalk have in common?

Water is the most pervasive enemy any building manager faces.
