Seattle averages 155 days per year with measurable precipitation. This persistent moisture creates elevated baseline humidity in commercial buildings, even with functioning HVAC systems. Server rooms generate heat, creating temperature differentials that cause condensation on cold water pipes and air handling units. When a pipe bursts or sprinkler head activates, water spreads rapidly across raised floors designed for cable management, not drainage. The combination of standing water and electrical current creates immediate fire hazards and equipment failure. Computer room water extraction must begin within the first hour to prevent catastrophic hardware loss and electrical shorts that can cascade across entire network segments.
