How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in Chelsea

Soaked carpet cushion holds water against the subfloor. Extraction and material checks should begin promptly after a sprinkler release.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   A closed wall base can hold sprinkler water; the technician assesses whether opening is necessary.

4. Verify the dry condition

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