How Fire Sprinkler Head Leak Cleanup Works in Gallatin Gateway

1. Remove standing water

   A restoration team starts with visible water so structural drying can address what remains inside materials.

2. Map wet materials

   A technician compares wet readings with dry reference materials in the same building.

3. Open trapped areas

   When water sits behind trim, selective opening gives moisture an escape path.

4. Dry and verify

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

An air mover alone cannot dry water trapped under flooring. The crew uses readings to find those pockets and selects access or removal where needed.

• Keep clear of wet lights, outlets and sagging ceiling sections.
• Call a fire sprinkler contractor to assess and isolate the affected system.
• Do not twist, plug or remove the sprinkler head.
• Photograph the drip and surrounding stains from a safe spot.
• Move small belongings away from the wet area when safe.
