How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in Locust

Drying equipment works best after recoverable liquid is removed. The crew pairs extraction with repeat measurements rather than relying on room feel.

1. Remove pooled sprinkler water

   Crews recover shallow pools and check whether lower rooms collected water from an overhead release.

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   Moisture meters reveal damp gypsum and flooring that a visual check may miss.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   The team exposes retained moisture where measurements show the assembly is not improving.

4. Verify the dry condition

   Final measurements document the condition before later finish work begins.
