How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Dunellen

2. Map wet materials

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

3. Open trapped areas

   Saturated ceiling panels may come out so the space above can dry.

4. Dry and verify

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