How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Shanks

Carpet pad and drywall may stay wet after the surface clears. Fast structural drying reduces the time those absorbent layers remain damp.

1. Remove standing water

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

2. Map wet materials

   Testing wall bases and subfloors shows where surface mopping failed to reach.

3. Open trapped areas

   Insulation holding sprinkler water may need removal before framing can dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Measured structural drying continues after visible puddles disappear.
