How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Hancock

A ceiling cavity can hold sprinkler water beyond the visible drip. Technicians check above panels and remove saturated materials that cannot dry safely.

2. Map wet materials

   A room by room moisture map directs equipment toward the true wet footprint.

3. Open trapped areas

   A wet carpet pad often needs attention even when the carpet surface feels clear.

4. Dry and verify

   Measured structural drying continues after visible puddles disappear.
