How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Knife River

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. A crew extracts sprinkler water and measures concealed areas before dampness persists.

1. Remove standing water

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

2. Map wet materials

   Testing wall bases and subfloors shows where surface mopping failed to reach.

3. Open trapped areas

   Access points are chosen from the measured wet area rather than a broad guess.

4. Dry and verify

   Measured structural drying continues after visible puddles disappear.
