Fire Suppression System Spring Maintenance
Spring is the perfect time of year for new beginnings. After a long winter, jumpstart the new season with these fire suppression system spring maintenance tips to ensure your property is safe and code-compliant.
What to Do
✅ Check Sprinkler Systems
Sprinkler systems are particularly vulnerable to freezing temperatures. Inspect all sprinkler heads for any signs of damage or obstruction caused by ice or snow. Ensure that the water supply is adequate and that the system is free from leaks or blockages.
✅ Corrosion Management
Corrosion in fire protection systems is dangerous, as many do not realize it is there until significant piping damage has occurred and the system leaks. Checking for corrosion and choosing a corrosion management plan can help keep your system running smoothly.
✅ Schedule Regular Inspections
Cold weather can cause (and hide) small issues with fire safety systems. As the weather warms up, it is important to check on these systems to catch and solve the issues before they become severe. Furthermore, the changing seasons offer an ideal chance for a fresh start. It’s the perfect time to check that any required inspection, testing, and maintenance services are set up for the year.
