How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Hecker

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

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

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.
