How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Gateway

A sprinkler head over an occupied room may wet furnishings as well as the structure. Prompt separation of dry contents leaves more space for airflow.

1. Remove standing water

   Water removal targets low spots first, including thresholds where flow has collected.

2. Map wet materials

   A room by room moisture map directs equipment toward the true wet footprint.

3. Open trapped areas

   Saturated ceiling panels may come out so the space above can dry.

4. Dry and verify

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