I have more than 30 years of experience designing facilities for water, wastewater, stormwater, and reclaimed water. This includes systems for treatment, pumping, piping, collection, storage, containment, conveyance, distribution, diversion, and disposal. Each one of these systems has numerous industry standards associated with it. Water can create value or cause damage depending on whether applicable standards were applied correctly. Water can flood, erode, scour, deposit, cut, corrode, contaminate, condense, stain, dissolve, decompose, saturate, collapse, condense, freeze, scald, and poison. Water conforms only to physical science and does not care what anyone thinks about it. Over the years I have noticed that most water damage is the direct result of the failure to implement industry standards. Somebody obtained a financial advantage by cutting corners. You probably did not share in that advantage, but you may have shared in the resulting damage. Water will eventually wreck your property without the correct design and maintenance procedures. Sometimes the wreckage is catastrophic, sometimes it is a slow decay. Most water damage is the end result of the actions of a specific organization or person. We may be able to determine who that was. -- Steve Willie.
