How Fire Sprinkler Head Leak Cleanup Works in Graton

   Standing water is pumped or vacuumed before it can keep feeding floor seams and carpet cushion.

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   The technician tests ceiling edges, wall bases and lower rooms for water movement.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   A closed wall base can hold sprinkler water; the technician assesses whether opening is necessary.

4. Verify the dry condition

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

• Contact a fire sprinkler contractor or building manager about the leaking head.
