I've had to deal with assorted water problems, thankfully not recently. Some lessons were learned. These water problems were indirectly or directly caused by firefighting. 1. When the data/comm center is on a bottom floor, consider floor drains at the time of installation. Might want emergency access to pumps, or even wet-dry shop vacs.
Corrolary: If your data center is on the ground floor or in the basement, remember that the sump pump must be on a UPS/generator protected circuit. Not that I learned this one the hard way or anything. *cough* -P.
