Fire Sprinklers

Improve Your Safety With a Fire Sprinkler System

A fire sprinkler system may be one of the best investments you can make to safeguard your San Francisco, CA home or commercial building.

Fire sprinklers protect lives and save money by preventing flames from spreading quickly. They detect heat, douse the fire, and give occupants time to evacuate while reducing fire damage to the building structure, furnishings, personal belongings, and inventory.

In many cases, fire sprinklers can extinguish the flames before the emergency crew arrives on the scene and cause less water damage than powerful fire hoses, which use 8 ½ times more water than sprinklers, according to the nonprofit Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition.

Fire sprinklers add resale value to your home and may reduce insurance costs.

In commercial settings, sprinkler systems offer the best solution for fire containment. Municipal, state, and federal regulations also may require them in some buildings. A few states, including California, even mandate sprinklers in new home construction.

 

Fire Sprinkler Repairs and Maintenance

Fire sprinkler systems generally require some maintenance and repair. We can run an annual flow test on your system, and inspect the sprinkler heads, holding tank, and pump. Consider a whole-house plumbing inspection annually to ensure your fixtures, pipes, drains, and fire sprinkler system are in top condition and working efficiently.

You can help maintain your fire suppression system by staying clear of its sprinkler heads while painting and cleaning. A little TLC goes a long way toward extending the system’s useful service life.
