How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in Chapin

A puddle may disappear while cavity insulation remains wet. Early moisture mapping helps the crew find those materials before dampness lingers.

1. Remove pooled sprinkler water

   A technician selects removal tools for water depth, material and safe access to the room.

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   The technician tests ceiling edges, wall bases and lower rooms for water movement.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   A closed wall base can hold sprinkler water; the technician assesses whether opening is necessary.

4. Verify the dry condition

   Dehumidifiers and air movers run under a plan guided by material readings.
