How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Fort Knox

2. Map wet materials

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

3. Open trapped areas

   The crew removes unsalvageable porous materials and records why they came out.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew records drying progress for the property owner and insurance claim.
