How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in Drakes Branch

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   Floor coverings and subfloor receive separate checks after a sprinkler discharge.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   Safe access is planned around electrical exposure and unstable overhead finishes.

4. Verify the dry condition
