Explanation:
Water can cause extensive damage to equipment, flooring, walls,
computers, and facility foundations. It is important that an organization be able to
detect leaks and unwanted water. The detectors should be under raised floors and on
dropped ceilings (to detect leaks from the floor above it). The location of the
detectors should be documented and their position marked for easy access. As smoke
and fire detectors should be tied to an alarm system, so should water detectors. The
alarms usually just alert the necessary staff members and not everyone in the
building. The staff members who are responsible for following up when an alarm
sounds should be trained properly on how to reduce any potential water damage.
Before any poking around to see where water is or is not pooling in places it does
not belong, the electricity for that particular zone of the building should be
temporarily turned off.
