Can a sprinkler pipe leak only after temperatures rise?
Yes. Ice can temporarily block a split, and water may escape when the section thaws. A sprinkler contractor checks the damaged system while the cleanup crew follows the resulting moisture through the building.

Pipe repair stops new water, but insulation and ceiling materials can retain what already escaped. Moisture measurements show whether the assembly needs drying access or removal of soaked layers.
