Flooding within a technical infrastructure room can cause water damage to both the components operated there and the room itself. Besides affecting the room, this water damage can also lead to short circuits in electrical equipment. Mould and corrosion can occur as a result. A leak in a water pipe could also flood a technical infrastructure room. Rainwater that enters the building during heavy rainfall via overloaded storm drains can also cause flooding.
