How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Melcroft

A dry touch is not a dry material reading. The technician compares affected surfaces with dry references before equipment comes out.

1. Remove standing water

   After the system is controlled, crews extract water from reachable wet areas and protect dry nearby space.

2. Map wet materials

   Thermal imaging can point to suspect areas that technicians confirm with moisture measurements.

3. Open trapped areas

   When water sits behind trim, selective opening gives moisture an escape path.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers run until daily readings reach the drying target.
