How Accidental Fire Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Argillite

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

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

4. Dry and verify

   A dry reference helps confirm when affected materials are ready for later finishes.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

The first 24 to 48 hours matter because mold can start growing on wet building materials. Water removal and measured drying address the source of that risk.

• Move people away from wet electrical devices and sagging ceiling areas.
• Have authorized personnel stop the sprinkler flow and check system status.
• Avoid operating damp switches or unplugging devices from standing water.
• Photograph the discharge area and spreading water from a safe position.
• Move small dry belongings out of the water path when safe.
