How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Lost Nation

2. Map wet materials

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

3. Open trapped areas

   The crew removes unsalvageable porous materials and records why they came out.

4. Dry and verify

   Technicians adjust equipment as the wet footprint shrinks and material readings change.
