How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in North Chicago

A puddle may disappear while cavity insulation remains wet. Early moisture mapping helps the crew find those materials before dampness lingers.

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

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   The technician tests ceiling edges, wall bases and lower rooms for water movement.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   Soaked ceiling materials may need controlled removal to give a cavity drying access.

4. Verify the dry condition

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