How Fire Sprinkler Head Leak Cleanup Works in Walpole

1. Remove standing water

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

2. Map wet materials

   A technician compares wet readings with dry reference materials in the same building.

3. Open trapped areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   Technicians adjust equipment as the wet footprint shrinks and material readings change.

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.

• Keep clear of wet lights, outlets and sagging ceiling sections.
• Call a fire sprinkler contractor to assess and isolate the affected system.
• Do not twist, plug or remove the sprinkler head.
• Photograph the drip and surrounding stains from a safe spot.
• Move small belongings away from the wet area when safe.
