How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Franklin

A ceiling cavity can hold sprinkler water beyond the visible drip. Technicians check above panels and remove saturated materials that cannot dry safely.

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

   Testing wall bases and subfloors shows where surface mopping failed to reach.

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.
