How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in Melrose

Multiple levels can be damp after one overhead discharge. Testing lower rooms identifies materials that also need attention.

1. Remove pooled sprinkler water

   The removal team starts at the wettest accessible areas after the sprinkler source is controlled.

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   Moisture meters reveal damp gypsum and flooring that a visual check may miss.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   The team exposes retained moisture where measurements show the assembly is not improving.

4. Verify the dry condition

   Progress checks show whether each affected surface is moving toward the target.
