"An article posted on The Globe and Mail website last July 15 recounts the collapse of the Algo Centre Mall in Elliot Lake, Algoma District, Ontario. The article also states that the building had already been identified as suffering from severe water damage some years earlier. In 2008, the Royal Bank discovered that the mall would need about $3 million in order to fully carry out repairs, but this warning failed to save the structure. Water damage in this case is the result of rainwater managing to seep through roofing, thus, ruining the interiors of a building. The only way to prevent water damage is through regular maintenance and repair of roofs. Roofing in Toronto, as in elsewhere around the world, has to be prepared for all types of weather, most especially the rains."
