How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in Thornton

1. Remove pooled sprinkler water

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   A warm-looking image alone does not prove a cavity is dry; physical measurement matters.

4. Verify the dry condition

   The technician adjusts equipment if a ceiling cavity stays damp after initial drying.
