What Accidental Fire Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Includes in Cabot
When accidental fire sprinkler discharge cleanup sends water across a floor, extraction comes first. A Cabot technician then measures adjacent walls and flooring to find moisture the surface does not show.
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.
