A sprinkler release may show at one ceiling tile while soaking a larger cavity.

If water is still flowing, notify the manager and sprinkler contractor immediately. A cleanup crew can plan equipment around the resulting depth and wet area.

How Fire Sprinkler Head Leak Cleanup Works in New Effington
