How Frozen Sprinkler Line Burst Cleanup Works in Ratliff City

1. Remove standing water

   Water removal targets low spots first, including thresholds where flow has collected.

2. Map wet materials

   A room by room moisture map directs equipment toward the true wet footprint.

3. Open trapped areas

   The crew removes unsalvageable porous materials and records why they came out.

4. Dry and verify

   Final readings show when salvageable surfaces no longer need drying equipment.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• 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.
• Move small belongings away from dripping water when safe.
