How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Cedar Falls

Water in an insulated wall can remain after the floor looks normal. Moisture mapping reveals the saturated zone so technicians can dry the assembly.

1. Remove standing water

   Technicians pull water from carpet and hard floors, then check whether lower rooms have pooled water.

2. Map wet materials

   A technician compares wet readings with dry reference materials in the same building.

3. Open trapped areas

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

4. Dry and verify

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