How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Maplewood

An air mover alone cannot dry water trapped under flooring. The crew uses readings to find those pockets and selects access or removal where needed.

1. Remove standing water

   A restoration team starts with visible water so structural drying can address what remains inside materials.

2. Map wet materials

   Moisture meters reveal damp drywall and flooring beyond the obvious sprinkler spray area.

3. Open trapped areas

   Access points are chosen from the measured wet area rather than a broad guess.

4. Dry and verify

   Final readings show when salvageable surfaces no longer need drying equipment.
