What Fire Sprinkler Head Leak Cleanup Includes in Walpole
When fire sprinkler head leak cleanup sends water across a floor, extraction comes first. A Walpole technician then measures adjacent walls and flooring to find moisture the surface does not show.
A drip from a fire sprinkler head can look minor on the floor while ceiling materials slowly absorb water. Moisture may collect around the head opening, move across a ceiling plane and run down a nearby wall. A stain or warped trim can appear after the leak has spread.
A fire sprinkler contractor inspects the head and controls the system after a discharge. The water damage crew removes pooled water and dries wet materials in Walpole.

- 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.
