How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Vandiver

Carpet pad and drywall may stay wet after the surface clears. Fast structural drying reduces the time those absorbent layers remain damp.

1. Remove standing water

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

2. Map wet materials

   A room by room moisture map directs equipment toward the true wet footprint.

3. Open trapped areas

   A wet carpet pad often needs attention even when the carpet surface feels clear.

4. Dry and verify

   Technicians adjust equipment as the wet footprint shrinks and material readings change.
