How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Old Chatham

The first 24 to 48 hours matter because mold can start growing on wet building materials. Water removal and measured drying address the source of that risk.

1. Remove standing water

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

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

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