How Accidental Fire Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup Works in Millbrae

1. Remove pooled sprinkler water

   A technician selects removal tools for water depth, material and safe access to the room.

2. Trace wet material beyond the puddle

   A warm-looking image alone does not prove a cavity is dry; physical measurement matters.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   Soaked ceiling materials may need controlled removal to give a cavity drying access.

4. Verify the dry condition

   The technician adjusts equipment if a ceiling cavity stays damp after initial drying.

• Call the fire sprinkler contractor or building manager to address the active system.
• Avoid touching a sprinkler head or attempting to cap the discharge.
• Move small dry belongings away from water if the route is safe.
• Photograph the affected rooms from a safe position before major cleanup begins.
