How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Dorset

A dry touch is not a dry material reading. The technician compares affected surfaces with dry references before equipment comes out.

1. Remove standing water

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

2. Map wet materials

   A technician compares wet readings with dry reference materials in the same building.

3. Open trapped areas

   Insulation holding sprinkler water may need removal before framing can dry.

4. Dry and verify

   A dry reference helps confirm when affected materials are ready for later finishes.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

• Photograph the discharged head from a safe location.
• Note when the water flow stopped.
• Keep the sprinkler contractor report.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
