How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Scarborough

A ceiling cavity can hold sprinkler water beyond the visible drip. Technicians check above panels and remove saturated materials that cannot dry safely.

   Technicians pull water from carpet and hard floors, then check whether lower rooms have pooled water.

2. Map wet materials

   Moisture meters reveal damp drywall and flooring beyond the obvious sprinkler spray area.

3. Open trapped areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   Measured structural drying continues after visible puddles disappear.
