How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Wilmington

2. Map wet materials

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

3. Open trapped areas

   A wet carpet pad often needs attention even when the carpet surface feels clear.

4. Dry and verify

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