What Fire Sprinkler Head Leak Cleanup Includes in Lake Mary
When fire sprinkler head leak cleanup sends water across a floor, extraction comes first. A Lake Mary technician then measures adjacent walls and flooring to find moisture the surface does not show.
A drip from a fire sprinkler head can look minor on the floor while ceiling materials slowly absorb water. Moisture may collect around the head opening, move across a ceiling plane and run down a nearby wall. A stain or warped trim can appear after the leak has spread.
System reset cannot substitute for structural drying. After the sprinkler contractor finishes, the cleanup crew measures ceilings, walls and flooring for hidden moisture.
