All standing water is removed from floors, and any water that traveled to lower levels is extracted. Powerful equipment is then set up to dry out walls, ceilings, and flooring materials completely.
Once drying is verified, crews manage repairs to finishes. They also coordinate the timeline with a fire-protection contractor, who must inspect and recharge the system before it is operational again.
Fire sprinkler discharge cleanup in Rye Brook typically runs $1,500 to $8,000 or more, depending on how long the head flowed, how many floors the water reached, and how much material must be dried or replaced.
