What Accidental Fire Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Includes in Shorter
The fire sprinkler contractor inspects the system after accidental fire sprinkler discharge cleanup. Once the area is safe, a Shorter restoration crew removes water and records the affected spaces.
An impact to a sprinkler head, a system fault or another unintended event can release water into a room without a fire. Water may run under doors, enter wall bases and soak ceiling spaces below the discharge. The visible puddle rarely marks every wet material.
System reset cannot substitute for structural drying. After the sprinkler contractor finishes, the cleanup crew measures ceilings, walls and flooring for hidden moisture.
