How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in Tangier

A puddle may disappear while cavity insulation remains wet. Early moisture mapping helps the crew find those materials before dampness lingers.

1. Remove pooled sprinkler water

   The removal team starts at the wettest accessible areas after the sprinkler source is controlled.

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   A warm-looking image alone does not prove a cavity is dry; physical measurement matters.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   Materials that cannot be dried appropriately are documented before removal.

4. Verify the dry condition

   The Tangier crew records a completed dry-out when the measured materials meet the plan.
