How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Malibu

A dry touch is not a dry material reading. The technician compares affected surfaces with dry references before equipment comes out.

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

2. Map wet materials

   A technician compares wet readings with dry reference materials in the same building.

3. Open trapped areas

   The crew removes unsalvageable porous materials and records why they came out.

4. Dry and verify

   Technicians adjust equipment as the wet footprint shrinks and material readings change.
