What Fire Sprinkler Head Leak Cleanup Includes in Harmony
A ceiling source can let fire sprinkler head leak cleanup water move into rooms below. The cleanup crew in Harmony checks that path and dries materials that can remain.
A drip from a fire sprinkler head can look minor on the floor while ceiling materials slowly absorb water. Moisture may collect around the head opening, move across a ceiling plane and run down a nearby wall. A stain or warped trim can appear after the leak has spread.
System reset cannot substitute for structural drying. After the sprinkler contractor finishes, the cleanup crew measures ceilings, walls and flooring for hidden moisture.
