How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Gainesville

Water in an insulated wall can remain after the floor looks normal. Moisture mapping reveals the saturated zone so technicians can dry the assembly.

1. Remove standing water

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

2. Map wet materials

   A technician compares wet readings with dry reference materials in the same building.

3. Open trapped areas

   The crew removes unsalvageable porous materials and records why they came out.

4. Dry and verify

   Measured structural drying continues after visible puddles disappear.
