What Accidental Fire Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Includes in Lignum
A ceiling source can let accidental fire sprinkler discharge cleanup water move into rooms below. The cleanup crew in Lignum checks that path and dries materials that can remain.
An impact to a sprinkler head, a system fault or another unintended event can release water into a room without a fire. Water may run under doors, enter wall bases and soak ceiling spaces below the discharge. The visible puddle rarely marks every wet material.
Do not disable building protection to start cleanup. Authorized staff handle the system, and restoration technicians begin water removal when entry is safe.
