How Accidental Fire Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Kathleen

1. Remove standing water

   Water removal targets low spots first, including thresholds where flow has collected.

2. Map wet materials

   The crew checks ceiling cavities and rooms below to trace the discharge path.

3. Open trapped areas

   Access points are chosen from the measured wet area rather than a broad guess.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers run until daily readings reach the drying target.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

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

• Move people away from wet electrical devices and sagging ceiling areas.
• Have authorized personnel stop the sprinkler flow and check system status.
• Avoid operating damp switches or unplugging devices from standing water.
• Photograph the discharge area and spreading water from a safe position.
• Move small dry belongings out of the water path when safe.
