How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Harmon

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

   A restoration team starts with visible water so structural drying can address what remains inside materials.

2. Map wet materials

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

3. Open trapped areas

   When water sits behind trim, selective opening gives moisture an escape path.

4. Dry and verify

   Measured structural drying continues after visible puddles disappear.
