Fire Sprinkler Systems
Fire sprinklers are one of the most important parts of fire protection. In buildings completely protected by them, over 96% of fires are controlled by sprinklers alone. We install, maintain, and inspect all types of fire sprinkler systems. Don't wait for a fire to break out and find out you are unprepared.
No Job is too Small or Too Large
Whether you need a small sprinkler system for your home or a large suppression system for your warehouse, our experts will help you through the process of installing a sprinkler system.
Tests & Inspections
Since a fire sprinkler system is such an important part of fire protection, you need to be confident that it will work as intended. Through regular inspections we can help you maintain a sprinkler system that can protect property and save lives.
What type of sprinkler system is best for you?
Wet Pipe Systems:
Wet pipe systems are always filled with pressurized water. When the sprinkler head reaches a certain temperature, the element inside of it breaks and water is released. This is the most common type of sprinkler system, as it is cheap to build and maintain. Since every sprinkler head is activated independently, it can minimize damage in case of a false alarm. However, since pipes are always filled with water it is susceptible to freezing.
Dry Pipe Systems:
Instead of water, dry pipe systems are filled with nitrogen or pressurized air. This gas holds a valve shut, preventing water from flowing through. In the event of a fire, the sprinkler head will release the gas, allowing water to flow through the system. This system is more complex and expensive than a wet pipe system, but it is ideal for situations where wet pipes would freeze.
Pre-Action Systems:
Pre-action systems are similar to dry pipe systems, but require two steps to activate. First, heat or smoke detectors activate a valve, flooding the system with water. Once the sprinkler head detects a sudden temperature increase, the water is released. This system is more complex than wet or dry pipe systems, but it is ideal for preventing false alarms. Pre-action systems are generally used in buildings where activating the sprinkler system could cause significant damage.
Deluge Systems:
Deluge systems sacrifice almost all measures against false activation for speed. They use an open head, which can release water faster than any other type of system. They are not filled with gas or water. Once a heat or smoke detector activates, the deluge valve opens and sends water to every sprinkler at once. In buildings handling highly combustible material, this fast response is needed to control fires as quickly as possible.
