How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Saint Augustine

2. Map wet materials

   A room by room moisture map directs equipment toward the true wet footprint.

3. Open trapped areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records drying progress for the property owner and insurance claim.
