How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Chatham

A ceiling cavity can hold sprinkler water beyond the visible drip. Technicians check above panels and remove saturated materials that cannot dry safely.

2. Map wet materials

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

3. Open trapped areas

   Saturated ceiling panels may come out so the space above can dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Measured structural drying continues after visible puddles disappear.
