Commercial Water Damage
11/7/2022 (Permalink)
Sprinkler systems save lives in the event of a fire. A well-maintained fire sprinkler system can help suppress smoke and flames, and lessen the spread of the fire, reducing the amount of damage and giving more time to exit the structure safely while waiting for emergency services arrive. Despite the benefits of fire sprinklers, a fire sprinkler leak due to damaged or malfunctioning sprinkler system can cause extensive damage.
Fire sprinkler systems are found in almost all commercial buildings to protect employees and customers in a fire emergency. Water discharge from a sprinkler can quickly put out a fire, but after the sprinklers turn on, they won’t go off until someone, usually a fire department professional, shuts off the valves. A standard commercial-grade sprinkler head can discharge between 20-40 gallons of water each minute that you wait for emergency responders.
