How Frozen Sprinkler Line Burst Cleanup Works in High Shoals

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

3. Open trapped areas

   Saturated ceiling panels may come out so the space above can dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Technicians adjust equipment as the wet footprint shrinks and material readings change.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A sprinkler head over an occupied room may wet furnishings as well as the structure. Prompt separation of dry contents leaves more space for airflow.

• Keep people clear of sagging ceilings and wet electrical fixtures.
• Call the sprinkler contractor for system isolation and pipe repairs.
• Avoid open flames or direct high heat on frozen piping.
• Record where and when water first appeared after the thaw.
• Move small belongings away from dripping water when safe.
