Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Questions in High Shoals
Can sprinkler water reach a lower floor in High Shoals?
Yes. Water can pass through ceiling openings and wall cavities, so the technician checks levels below the head.
Why is the wall base wet after a High Shoals discharge?
Drywall and trim can wick water from the floor. Moisture mapping shows how far it rose.
Can water spread beyond one High Shoals room?
Yes. Doorways, wall openings and floor penetrations can carry water farther than the spray area.
