How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Old Fort

An air mover alone cannot dry water trapped under flooring. The crew uses readings to find those pockets and selects access or removal where needed.

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

3. Open trapped areas

   The crew removes unsalvageable porous materials and records why they came out.

4. Dry and verify

   A dry reference helps confirm when affected materials are ready for later finishes.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

• Photograph the discharged head from a safe location.
