How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Highland Lakes

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

1. Remove standing water

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

2. Map wet materials

   A room by room moisture map directs equipment toward the true wet footprint.

3. Open trapped areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   A dry reference helps confirm when affected materials are ready for later finishes.
