How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in Waltham

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

1. Remove pooled sprinkler water

   A technician selects removal tools for water depth, material and safe access to the room.

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

   A closed wall base can hold sprinkler water; the technician assesses whether opening is necessary.

4. Verify the dry condition

   The technician adjusts equipment if a ceiling cavity stays damp after initial drying.
