How Fire Sprinkler Head Leak Cleanup Works in Gibbon

1. Remove standing water

   A technician documents the standing water and extracts it before setting the drying plan.

2. Map wet materials

   A room by room moisture map directs equipment toward the true wet footprint.

3. Open trapped areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   Final readings show when salvageable surfaces no longer need drying equipment.

• Keep clear of wet lights, outlets and sagging ceiling sections.
• Call a fire sprinkler contractor to assess and isolate the affected system.
• Do not twist, plug or remove the sprinkler head.
• Photograph the drip and surrounding stains from a safe spot.
• Move small belongings away from the wet area when safe.
