How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in Cortland

A wet ceiling can continue feeding drips into the room. The cleanup crew assesses safe access and removes materials that cannot be dried appropriately.

1. Remove pooled sprinkler water

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   Floor coverings and subfloor receive separate checks after a sprinkler discharge.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   A wet insulation pocket may require removal rather than surface airflow alone.

4. Verify the dry condition

   Dehumidifiers and air movers run under a plan guided by material readings.
