How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in Elrod

A puddle may disappear while cavity insulation remains wet. Early moisture mapping helps the crew find those materials before dampness lingers.

   Crews recover shallow pools and check whether lower rooms collected water from an overhead release.

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   The crew compares suspect areas with unaffected materials in the same building.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   Materials that cannot be dried appropriately are documented before removal.

4. Verify the dry condition

   Progress checks show whether each affected surface is moving toward the target.
