How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Mount Carmel

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

1. Remove standing water

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

2. Map wet materials

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

3. Open trapped areas

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

4. Dry and verify

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