How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Middle River

1. Remove standing water

   Water removal targets low spots first, including thresholds where flow has collected.

2. Map wet materials

   Moisture meters reveal damp drywall and flooring beyond the obvious sprinkler spray area.

3. Open trapped areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   Final readings show when salvageable surfaces no longer need drying equipment.
