How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Cape Charles

An air mover alone cannot dry water trapped under flooring. The crew uses readings to find those pockets and selects access or removal where needed.

1. Remove standing water

   Technicians pull water from carpet and hard floors, then check whether lower rooms have pooled water.

2. Map wet materials

   A room by room moisture map directs equipment toward the true wet footprint.

3. Open trapped areas

   A wet carpet pad often needs attention even when the carpet surface feels clear.

4. Dry and verify

   Measured structural drying continues after visible puddles disappear.
