What Fire Sprinkler Discharge Water Cleanup Includes in Hills
A Hills crew uses meters during fire sprinkler discharge water cleanup to find water beneath visible surfaces. Air movers and dehumidifiers then dry the exposed structure.
An activated head or broken sprinkler pipe releases water across a wide area. Spray reaches walls and contents while runoff moves through floors below. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because ceiling tile, insulation, carpet, drywall, and stored goods hold hidden moisture.
A plumber stops a broken supply pipe. After the valve closes, a water cleanup crew extracts the water that escaped and checks the walls and floors it reached.
