How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Gilliam

A sprinkler head over an occupied room may wet furnishings as well as the structure. Prompt separation of dry contents leaves more space for airflow.

1. Remove standing water

   A restoration team starts with visible water so structural drying can address what remains inside materials.

2. Map wet materials

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

3. Open trapped areas

   Access points are chosen from the measured wet area rather than a broad guess.

4. Dry and verify

   Technicians adjust equipment as the wet footprint shrinks and material readings change.
