How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Blackwater

A dry touch is not a dry material reading. The technician compares affected surfaces with dry references before equipment comes out.

1. Remove standing water

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

2. Map wet materials

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

3. Open trapped areas

   When water sits behind trim, selective opening gives moisture an escape path.

4. Dry and verify

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