How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in North Charleston

A sprinkler head over an occupied room may wet furnishings as well as the structure. Prompt separation of dry contents leaves more space for airflow.

   The extraction crew clears pooled sprinkler water before it enters more seams and wall bases.

2. Map wet materials

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

3. Open trapped areas

   Insulation holding sprinkler water may need removal before framing can dry.

4. Dry and verify

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