How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in Stanford

1. Remove pooled sprinkler water

   A technician selects removal tools for water depth, material and safe access to the room.

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   Floor coverings and subfloor receive separate checks after a sprinkler discharge.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   A closed wall base can hold sprinkler water; the technician assesses whether opening is necessary.

4. Verify the dry condition

   The technician adjusts equipment if a ceiling cavity stays damp after initial drying.
