What Accidental Fire Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Includes in Duncans Mills
Some soaked materials cannot dry safely in place after accidental fire sprinkler discharge cleanup. The crew documents removal, then continues structural drying at the Duncans Mills property.
An impact to a sprinkler head, a system fault or another unintended event can release water into a room without a fire. Water may run under doors, enter wall bases and soak ceiling spaces below the discharge. The visible puddle rarely marks every wet material.
System reset cannot substitute for structural drying. After the sprinkler contractor finishes, the cleanup crew measures ceilings, walls and flooring for hidden moisture.
