How Fire Sprinkler Head Leak Cleanup Works in Silver Creek

1. Remove standing water

2. Map wet materials

   The crew checks ceiling cavities and rooms below to trace the discharge path.

3. Open trapped areas

   When water sits behind trim, selective opening gives moisture an escape path.

4. Dry and verify
