How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in Melfa

A slow sprinkler head leak may be discovered after finishes have absorbed water. Moisture readings show the extent that a stain cannot reveal.

1. Remove pooled sprinkler water

   Bulk extraction takes water off the surface so the drying phase can address what remains inside materials.

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   The technician tests ceiling edges, wall bases and lower rooms for water movement.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   Safe access is planned around electrical exposure and unstable overhead finishes.

4. Verify the dry condition

   Progress checks show whether each affected surface is moving toward the target.
