Fire Sprinkler Systems have been given a bad reputation by several sources, none of which are really warranted. They have been installed in millions of buildings and structures, with billions of individual sprinklers in service, since the late nineteenth century. Fire sprinklers have saved countless lives and untold sums in property damage throughout their history with the same simple idea conceived in 1874 – detect a fire where it starts, open a waterway using a heat responsive device and discharge water on the fire. That concept is the same today, however, fire sprinklers, their piping systems and the Codes that govern their installation have become exponentially complex. As little as 40 years ago there were three types of sprinklers to use for any situation. Today, there are hundreds of types, styles, options, listings and guidelines for use in protecting ceiling and architectural combinations limited only by an Architects imagination. Hydraulic design analysis, computer aided drafting (CAD) and 3-D modeling revolutionized the industry and helped make possible the continued success and reliability of these systems. The fire codes have evolved from simple paperbound pamphlets in 1896 to multi-volume books with commentary and continue to expand.
The success or failure of a sprinkler system initially relies on the proper design and workmanship of the system when it was installed, but eventually shifts to the buildings owner or property manager to assure it will work as intended for years after the installers leave. That's where we will help. Whether you need an inspection performed, need work done to an existing system or are installing a new home or other type of building that requires sprinklers, we are standing by to take your call. We are dedicated to the profession, have the desire to keep our neighbors and co-workers safe and take pride in knowing that what we are doing now may someday be needed to save a life.
We have provided links to several sites for those interested in furthering their understanding of fire sprinklers, their history, the science involved and technology that exists today. The links to burn demonstrations show the effectiveness of residential fire sprinklers and just how quickly a small incipient fire can overtake the whole room without them; very powerful footage. Our Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) section contains answers to questions that almost any consumer could ask about fire sprinklers. If you can't find the answer you're looking for on this site, call and we'll have an answer for you. Our photo gallery (page under construction) shows just a few examples of the many combinations of systems for different buildings. Our Plans Gallery (page under construction) shows examples of details that are used in our system designs for plan submittals. Feel free to browse these galleries to get an idea of what your controls will look like or how much space you might need for your system.
