Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Questions in Katy
Can Katy residents stay during cleanup?
The building manager and appropriate trades assess safety. Keep people clear of wet electrical areas and sagging ceilings.

Yes. Water can pass through ceiling openings and wall cavities, so the technician checks levels below the head.
What if a Katy floor looks dry already?
Surface appearance cannot confirm hidden materials. The technician measures seams and subfloors.
Do Katy cleanup crews reset the fire sprinkler system?
No. The fire sprinkler contractor handles system work; restoration technicians extract water and dry the structure.
How fast should Katy sprinkler water cleanup begin?
Begin extraction once the flow stops and the area is safe. Delayed work allows water to move into absorbent materials.
