How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Saint James

An air mover alone cannot dry water trapped under flooring. The crew uses readings to find those pockets and selects access or removal where needed.

1. Remove standing water

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

2. Map wet materials

   Moisture meters reveal damp drywall and flooring beyond the obvious sprinkler spray area.

3. Open trapped areas

   Access points are chosen from the measured wet area rather than a broad guess.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records drying progress for the property owner and insurance claim.
