Fire Sprinklers Inspection & Repair

When the homeowner needs to install fire sprinklers in their homes, the options can be numerous. Your residential building’s automatic fire sprinkler system is the first line of defense if fire starts, so they’re a vital fire safety measure in your home. Fire sprinklers can control a fire at its core and keep it small while protecting your family members from harm.

Fire sprinkler types

There are four main types of fire sprinkler systems:

• Wet pipe
• Dry pipe
• Deluge
• Pre-action

The most common type in residential buildings is a wet pipe fire sprinkler system, where cold water is stored under pressure in the pipes and is discharged immediately by sprinkler heads when the preheat level is reached. They provide full house coverage.

Other types are used in unheated/unoccupied buildings, warehouses, high-rise buildings, offices and shopping centers. Sprinklers that eject water mist instead of water, are another alternative.

Two types of residential fire sprinkler systems are allowed under the NFPA 13D standard: stand-alone systems, where the sprinkler system is independent of the home plumbing system; and multipurpose systems, where the sprinkler system is combined with the cold water plumbing. NFPA 13D is a residential sprinkler design standard focused on one- and two-family dwellings and manufactured homes. The purpose is to provide an affordable sprinkler system in homes while maintaining a high level of life safety. Each home (its interiors, people and items) is unique and requires customized planning and installation of fire sprinklers in order to ensure the complete safety of the home’s contents.
