How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Fort Defiance

Water in an insulated wall can remain after the floor looks normal. Moisture mapping reveals the saturated zone so technicians can dry the assembly.

1. Remove standing water

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

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.
