Fire Sprinkler Systems
Stop Fire in its Tracks
Fire sprinkler systems help reduce damage and prevent fires from spreading. Whether it?s an office building, school, hospital, apartment complex, or industrial space, a functioning sprinkler system is an essential part of your overall fire safety system.�
Sprinklers work when sensors in sprinkler heads are activated in the presence of heat and flames and target the affected area.�
Fire Prevention Services specializes in wet, dry, pre-action, deluge, and foam fire sprinkler systems.
Our certified technicians are highly trained and experienced in the installation, inspection, repair and service of all types of sprinkler systems and supporting equipment.
Wet Pipe Systems
These are the most commonly used, reliable, and cost-effective sprinkler systems. In a wet pipe system, the piping is constantly filled with water and free to flow out of the sprinkler head when the ceiling temperature is hot enough to trigger the sprinkler.
Dry Pipe Systems
Rather than being filled with water, in a dry pipe system the pipes are filled with pressurized air or nitrogen, and the water is held behind a dry pipe valve away from where the sprinklers are located. When heat activates the sprinkler head, there is a delay as the air is released and water flows to the location. Dry pipe systems are ideal for locations where the temperature isn?t high enough to prevent the water from freezing in the pipes.
Pre - Action System
With a pre-action sprinkler system, two separate devices need to be triggered in order to release the water. These systems minimize the risk of a false alarm and water being accidentally discharged. They are ideal for areas where the water could cause extensive damage to property or assets.
Deluge System
This system is similar to a pre-action system, however once the system is filled with water, all of the sprinkler heads open simultaneously. Deluge systems are ideal for hazardous materials storage.
Foam Systems
Foam-based sprinklers are filled with a foaming agent mixed with water. Foam cools the fire and smothers the fuel to separate it from oxygen, quickly stopping fires from spreading. They are ideal in areas where there is fuel or other combustible liquids, like aircraft hangars or chemical companies.
We also have expertise with fire pumps, standpipe systems, and backflow preventers - critical components of your fire protection system.
Fire Pumps
Fire pumps are integral to a sprinkler system where the source water system doesn?t have enough pressure to deliver water to every part of the sprinkler system. They are commonly found in high-rise buildings, warehouses, and other large facilities. Fire pumps should be tested monthly and annually to ensure optimal performance.
Standpipe System
A standpipe is a pre-piped water supply system that allows for a fire hose to be connected to it from within a building. These are critical in protecting multi-story buildings and allow fire departments to quickly access the flow of water on a particular floor or area.�
Backflow Preventers
Backflow preventers are an important piece of equipment that protects the water supply by preventing contaminated sprinkler system or standpipe water from flowing back into the water main. Fire Prevention Services installs new backflow preventers, as well as tests and maintains existing devices.�
Municipal Hydrant Flow Testing
Reliable sources of water are essential in a fire emergency. We support municipal systems, conducting flow tests to identify potential problems and ensure hydrants will work as expected.
Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance
Regular maintenance and annual inspections ensure your sprinkler system will work when it?s needed.
Scheduled Services
Our specialists conduct required inspections at various intervals from monthly, to semi-annually and annually, up to five-year inspections.�
