How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Orinda

Standing water spreads into seams and wall bases while cleanup waits. Extraction starts the drying process, followed by moisture checks and dehumidification.

1. Remove standing water

   A restoration team starts with visible water so structural drying can address what remains inside materials.

2. Map wet materials

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

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.
