How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Mellette

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

   The extraction crew clears pooled sprinkler water before it enters more seams and wall bases.

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

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