Fire sprinkler systems are extraordinarily effective and reliable, but they do require routine maintenance and occasional repairs. Preemptive action on system maintenance helps extend the life of your sprinklers, avoid future damage, and ensure they’re always ready to respond in seconds in the event of a fire. It also guarantees that your system remains up-to-date and compliant with new changes in technology and safety codes.

Signs your fire sprinkler system may need repair include:

• False alarms. False alarms can be triggered by a range of factors, from trapped air in pressurized pipes to mechanical failures. Frequent false alarms are a good indication that something in your system is not working correctly.
• Broken or loose sprinkler heads. Sprinkler heads can become damaged or dislodged in several ways. Ladders, forklifts, or indoor vehicles moving around can accidentally knock a sprinkler head loose. They may also become loose over time as a result of holding back pressurized water.
• Visible leaks or standing water. Whether from a roofing issue, faulty plumbing, or a broken seal in the fire sprinkler system, leaks or standing water require immediate attention. Watermarks on the wall or ceiling or standing water under or around sprinkler system components are red flags that you have an underlying water problem that needs to be fixed as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
