How Fire Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Works in Bretz

Multiple levels can be damp after one overhead discharge. Testing lower rooms identifies materials that also need attention.

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   A wet insulation pocket may require removal rather than surface airflow alone.

4. Verify the dry condition

   The Bretz crew records a completed dry-out when the measured materials meet the plan.
