Fire Sprinkler Head Leak Cleanup in Shiprock, NM

What Fire Sprinkler Head Leak Cleanup Includes in Shiprock

Some soaked materials cannot dry safely in place after fire sprinkler head leak cleanup. The crew documents removal, then continues structural drying at the Shiprock property.

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.

A fire sprinkler contractor inspects the head and controls the system after a discharge. The water damage crew removes pooled water and dries wet materials in Shiprock.

How Fire Sprinkler Head Leak Cleanup Works in Shiprock

• Do not twist, plug or remove the sprinkler head.
• Photograph the drip and surrounding stains from a safe spot.
