How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Burlington

The first 24 to 48 hours matter because mold can start growing on wet building materials. Water removal and measured drying address the source of that risk.

2. Map wet materials

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

3. Open trapped areas

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

4. Dry and verify

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