How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Cranford

A dry touch is not a dry material reading. The technician compares affected surfaces with dry references before equipment comes out.

   Technicians pull water from carpet and hard floors, then check whether lower rooms have pooled water.

2. Map wet materials

   A technician compares wet readings with dry reference materials in the same building.

3. Open trapped areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   Measured structural drying continues after visible puddles disappear.
