How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Meraux

2. Map wet materials

   Thermal imaging can point to suspect areas that technicians confirm with moisture measurements.

3. Open trapped areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records drying progress for the property owner and insurance claim.
