How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in Lehigh

A slow sprinkler head leak may be discovered after finishes have absorbed water. Moisture readings show the extent that a stain cannot reveal.

1. Remove pooled sprinkler water

   Standing water is pumped or vacuumed before it can keep feeding floor seams and carpet cushion.

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

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

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   Materials that cannot be dried appropriately are documented before removal.

4. Verify the dry condition

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