How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in South Elgin

A puddle may disappear while cavity insulation remains wet. Early moisture mapping helps the crew find those materials before dampness lingers.

1. Remove pooled sprinkler water

   Standing water is pumped or vacuumed before it can keep feeding floor seams and carpet cushion.

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   The crew compares suspect areas with unaffected materials in the same building.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   Soaked ceiling materials may need controlled removal to give a cavity drying access.

4. Verify the dry condition

   Final measurements document the condition before later finish work begins.
