What Accidental Fire Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Includes in Pollock
An early response to accidental fire sprinkler discharge cleanup can limit deeper saturation. Technicians in Pollock place equipment from moisture readings rather than the size of the puddle.
An impact to a sprinkler head, a system fault or another unintended event can release water into a room without a fire. Water may run under doors, enter wall bases and soak ceiling spaces below the discharge. The visible puddle rarely marks every wet material.
Do not disable building protection to start cleanup. Authorized staff handle the system, and restoration technicians begin water removal when entry is safe.
