How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in South Orange

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.

1. Remove standing water

   Water removal targets low spots first, including thresholds where flow has collected.

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

   The crew records drying progress for the property owner and insurance claim.
