How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Tunkhannock

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.

2. Map wet materials

   A room by room moisture map directs equipment toward the true wet footprint.

3. Open trapped areas

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

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