A Brief On Professional Installation, Repair And Testing Of Fire Sprinkler/suppression Systems

A properly installed and well-maintained automatic fire sprinkler system can help save lives and prevent significant property damage

. Well maintained fire sprinkler systems react quickly and immediately to reduce the flames, heat, and smoke produced in a fire. Fire suppression systems have been in use for more than a hundred years and have protected commercial and industrial properties as well as public buildings. It is, therefore, imperative that fire sprinkler installation be an essential part of construction of all residential buildings.

There are also several reasons why fire sprinklers should be installed in your personal residence. The risk of death decreases by approximately 80% when a residential sprinkler system has been installed. The costs associated with property loss due to fire can be reduced by more than 70% when a sprinkler system is installed. Most importantly, residential sprinkler systems allow sufficient time for families to be safely evacuated.

It is very important to commit to fire sprinkler system repair on a regular basis following regular inspections. The inspectors of approved sprinkler system companies have significant training and expertise. These professionals will carry out an inspection and test as well as maintain your fire sprinkler systems in full conformity with state and municipal building code. United States Alliance Fire Protection recommends that NFPA 25, the National Standard for Inspection, Testing and Maintenance of Water-based Fire Protection Systems, be followed as the basis for ensuring efficient performance of system components.

The fire suppression system testing carried out as part of the inspection services may include backflow prevention testing, certification of the anti-freeze solution, corrosion evaluation, deluge sprinkler, extinguishing systems, fire pump testing, dry pipe sprinkler, water spray systems, inspection of the water storage tank and water mist systems among many others. Other services are available upon request and these include building and fire alarm testing, cooking hood system inspections, and fire extinguisher inspection and testing. However, it is incumbent on the part of the owner to evaluate the fire protection water supply to rule out the potential of corrosion. The water temperature of 40F must be maintained for gravity and suction tanks while access of doors and hydrants must be free from the accumulation of snow and ice. The fire sprinkler system operates on a simple concept that is effective and green, that the application of a small amount of water to a small fire. If the system is maintained, inspected, tested and repaired on a regular basis, it will save lives.
