How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Shannon

   A technician documents the standing water and extracts it before setting the drying plan.

2. Map wet materials

   Moisture meters reveal damp drywall and flooring beyond the obvious sprinkler spray area.

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.
