How Fire Sprinkler Discharge Flood Water Removal Works in Whiting

   A crew starts with the visible pool, using equipment suited to its depth.

2. Map the moisture

   Meters show whether subfloors remain wet beyond the visible edge.

3. Open what holds water

   Cabinet toe kicks may need access so trapped moisture can escape.

4. Dry and verify

   Final moisture checks support the handoff to any later rebuild work.
