Building
Inside a building, a multitude of mechanical failures can cause severe damage and even compromise the safety of occupants. For example, piping may break under freezing pressure, a sprinkler system can flood a building, or incorrectly vented gas appliances can introduce Carbon Monoxide into a space.
The nature of these incidents makes them priority cases for many stakeholders who wish to limit damage. Because buildings may contain expensive equipment, and the damage to architectural finishes is often considerable, the question of liability inevitably arises.
