How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Shirley

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. A crew extracts sprinkler water and measures concealed areas before dampness persists.

2. Map wet materials

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

3. Open trapped areas

   The crew removes unsalvageable porous materials and records why they came out.

4. Dry and verify

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