How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Elk River

2. Map wet materials

   Thermal imaging can point to suspect areas that technicians confirm with moisture measurements.

3. Open trapped areas

   Saturated ceiling panels may come out so the space above can dry.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records drying progress for the property owner and insurance claim.
