How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Otter Creek

A dry touch is not a dry material reading. The technician compares affected surfaces with dry references before equipment comes out.

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

   A wet carpet pad often needs attention even when the carpet surface feels clear.

4. Dry and verify

   A dry reference helps confirm when affected materials are ready for later finishes.
