How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Lakehead

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

   A technician documents the standing water and extracts it before setting the drying plan.

2. Map wet materials

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

3. Open trapped areas

   When water sits behind trim, selective opening gives moisture an escape path.

4. Dry and verify

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