How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Irwin

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

   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

   Insulation holding sprinkler water may need removal before framing can dry.

4. Dry and verify

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