How Accidental Fire Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Martinsburg

1. Remove pooled sprinkler water

   Bulk extraction takes water off the surface so the drying phase can address what remains inside materials.

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   Material readings establish the affected area and an appropriate dry target.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   Safe access is planned around electrical exposure and unstable overhead finishes.

4. Verify the dry condition

   The technician adjusts equipment if a ceiling cavity stays damp after initial drying.
