How Fire Sprinkler Head Leak Cleanup Works in Sciota

   Bulk extraction takes water off the surface so the drying phase can address what remains inside materials.

   Material readings establish the affected area and an appropriate dry target.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   Soaked ceiling materials may need controlled removal to give a cavity drying access.

4. Verify the dry condition

   Dehumidifiers and air movers run under a plan guided by material readings.
