How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Whittington

A dry touch is not a dry material reading. The technician compares affected surfaces with dry references before equipment comes out.

   The extraction crew clears pooled sprinkler water before it enters more seams and wall bases.

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

   Final readings show when salvageable surfaces no longer need drying equipment.
