How Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Kobuk

Standing water spreads into seams and wall bases while cleanup waits. Extraction starts the drying process, followed by moisture checks and dehumidification.

1. Remove standing water

   After the system is controlled, crews extract water from reachable wet areas and protect dry nearby space.

2. Map wet materials

   The crew checks ceiling cavities and rooms below to trace the discharge path.

3. Open trapped areas

   Insulation holding sprinkler water may need removal before framing can dry.

4. Dry and verify

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