How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Drexel

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

   A restoration team starts with visible water so structural drying can address what remains inside materials.

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

   Final readings show when salvageable surfaces no longer need drying equipment.
