How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in Dekalb

A wet ceiling can continue feeding drips into the room. The cleanup crew assesses safe access and removes materials that cannot be dried appropriately.

1. Remove pooled sprinkler water

   Bulk extraction takes water off the surface so the drying phase can address what remains inside materials.

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   A warm-looking image alone does not prove a cavity is dry; physical measurement matters.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   The team exposes retained moisture where measurements show the assembly is not improving.

4. Verify the dry condition

   The Dekalb crew records a completed dry-out when the measured materials meet the plan.
