The crew compares that area with dry material nearby and tracks changes during the work. The resulting map helps prevent an apparently dry surface from ending the job too soon.

Sprinkler Leak Cleanup Pros directs the cleanup call to water removal and drying, while a fire sprinkler contractor handles the system.
