How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in Wilmington

A slow sprinkler head leak may be discovered after finishes have absorbed water. Moisture readings show the extent that a stain cannot reveal.

1. Remove pooled sprinkler water

   Crews recover shallow pools and check whether lower rooms collected water from an overhead release.

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   Moisture meters reveal damp gypsum and flooring that a visual check may miss.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   Safe access is planned around electrical exposure and unstable overhead finishes.

4. Verify the dry condition

   Dehumidifiers and air movers run under a plan guided by material readings.
