The water rises till it reaches the peak level, then it destroys the material and the roof collapses. The collapsed roof can cause severe injury to the people near it as well as damage that place.

The bird’s droppings are quite acidic. If these birds drop they often fall on machines that operate outside of the houses and property such as air conditions, industrial machines, insulation, etc. The continuous accumulation of these droppings not only affects the machine and equipment itself but also puts the people working there and living their life in danger. It causes harm to both man and machine which later become highly expensive to manage.
