What Accidental Fire Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Includes in Adams
When accidental fire sprinkler discharge cleanup sends water across a floor, extraction comes first. A Adams technician then measures adjacent walls and flooring to find moisture the surface does not show.
An impact to a sprinkler head, a system fault or another unintended event can release water into a room without a fire. Water may run under doors, enter wall bases and soak ceiling spaces below the discharge. The visible puddle rarely marks every wet material.
The building manager should coordinate any sprinkler shutoff. Once the area is safe, a restoration crew extracts water from floors and checks rooms below.
