How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Ellsworth

A dry touch is not a dry material reading. The technician compares affected surfaces with dry references before equipment comes out.

2. Map wet materials

   Moisture meters reveal damp drywall and flooring beyond the obvious sprinkler spray area.

3. Open trapped areas

   A wet carpet pad often needs attention even when the carpet surface feels clear.

4. Dry and verify

   Measured structural drying continues after visible puddles disappear.
