How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Athens

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

2. Map wet materials

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

3. Open trapped areas

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

4. Dry and verify

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