How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in South Pekin

An air mover alone cannot dry water trapped under flooring. The crew uses readings to find those pockets and selects access or removal where needed.

1. Remove standing water

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

2. Map wet materials

   A room by room moisture map directs equipment toward the true wet footprint.

3. Open trapped areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records drying progress for the property owner and insurance claim.
