How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Elgin

2. Map wet materials

   Thermal imaging can point to suspect areas that technicians confirm with moisture measurements.

3. Open trapped areas

   A wet carpet pad often needs attention even when the carpet surface feels clear.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers run until daily readings reach the drying target.
