How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Selma

The first 24 to 48 hours matter because mold can start growing on wet building materials. Water removal and measured drying address the source of that risk.

1. Remove standing water

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

2. Map wet materials

   Moisture meters reveal damp drywall and flooring beyond the obvious sprinkler spray area.

3. Open trapped areas

   The crew removes unsalvageable porous materials and records why they came out.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers run until daily readings reach the drying target.
