How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Elmhurst

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

   After the system is controlled, crews extract water from reachable wet areas and protect dry nearby space.

2. Map wet materials

   Thermal imaging can point to suspect areas that technicians confirm with moisture measurements.

3. Open trapped areas

   Access points are chosen from the measured wet area rather than a broad guess.

4. Dry and verify

   Measured structural drying continues after visible puddles disappear.
