No matter how good your fire sprinkler system is, it will corrode and leak at some time throughout its life. There are a number of things that may happen to a system that will impair its capacity to function properly, so let’s go through a few things to check for that will raise the red flag that you need repairs.

VISIBLE LEAK

A visible leak is an unmistakable indication that you should contact a professional right away to perform repairs. A leak can occur for a variety of reasons, including malfunctioning equipment, collisions that cause damage, rusted pipes, poor seals, fittings that are too tight – you name it, and it may cause a leak.

TRIPPED ALARM

Have you ever observed how your Calgary fire sprinkler contractor injects air into the pipes during normal maintenance? This is a vital step in ensuring there are no damaged pipes, but air can become trapped and cause false alarms. This is another indication that you should contact your contractor right away to get things remedied.

EQUIPMENT FAILURE

A poorly installed system, as well as a poorly planned system, will result in equipment failure. Finally, if you haven’t had your system inspected on a regular basis, it will be prone to equipment failure.

BROKEN OR LOOSE SPRINKLERS

Sprinklers are frequently damaged or handled in such a way that they become loose, whether by a random action or an accident. Regular maintenance will enable you to detect loose or damaged sprinklers and fix or replace them before a fire emergency develops.

CORROSION

Fire requires oxygen, yet oxygen is the culprit that causes corrosion in many components of your fire sprinkler system. When you see discoloured water, usually a rust colour, or get a whiff of something that smells like rotten eggs, it might be corrosion in your system causing leaks. Call Calgary fire protection expert Gunner Fire Protection to repair the problem areas before they cause your complete system to fail.
