How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Fort Howard

Carpet pad and drywall may stay wet after the surface clears. Fast structural drying reduces the time those absorbent layers remain damp.

1. Remove standing water

   A restoration team starts with visible water so structural drying can address what remains inside materials.

2. Map wet materials

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

3. Open trapped areas

   Saturated ceiling panels may come out so the space above can dry.

4. Dry and verify

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