How Frozen Sprinkler Line Burst Cleanup Works in Wellman

1. Remove standing water

   After the system is controlled, crews extract water from reachable wet areas and protect dry nearby space.

2. Map wet materials

   A technician compares wet readings with dry reference materials in the same building.

3. Open trapped areas

   A wet carpet pad often needs attention even when the carpet surface feels clear.

4. Dry and verify

   A dry reference helps confirm when affected materials are ready for later finishes.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

An air mover alone cannot dry water trapped under flooring. The crew uses readings to find those pockets and selects access or removal where needed.

• Keep people clear of sagging ceilings and wet electrical fixtures.
• Call the sprinkler contractor for system isolation and pipe repairs.
• Avoid open flames or direct high heat on frozen piping.
• Record where and when water first appeared after the thaw.
