How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Columbia Falls

1. Remove standing water

   A technician documents the standing water and extracts it before setting the drying plan.

2. Map wet materials

   Testing wall bases and subfloors shows where surface mopping failed to reach.

3. Open trapped areas

   Access points are chosen from the measured wet area rather than a broad guess.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers run until daily readings reach the drying target.
