How can you prevent fire sprinkler systems from freezing?
The most effective way of keeping your fire sprinkler system from freezing is to provide regular year-long maintenance. You should contact a professional fire protection company like Romo Life Safety & Const. LLC to discuss how you can prevent pipe freezing through regular fire sprinkler system maintenance. As a property owner, you are responsible for keeping the temperature of your building at the appropriate temperature, especially if you have a wet fire sprinkler system.
To keep buildings safe from fire during the winter months and avoid costly repairs down the road, there are preventative maintenance steps you can take:
• Monitor your local weather and know when temperatures are expected to drop below freezing.
• Maintain adequate heat in all buildings during the winter months. Back-up heating options are important if there is an electrical power outage. If all areas can’t be kept at least 40 degrees, you need to call license Fire Sprinkler company.
• If you have a dry pipe system, you should visually inspect and drain your pipes every few days or often at low points which can collect moisture and condensation.
• Contact Romo Life Safety & Const. LLC to conduct regular inspection, testing, and maintenance of the sprinkler systems.
• We can help winterize your fire sprinkler systems.
Your fire sprinkler system should be inspected annually. At an annual inspection, a qualified professional will take steps to prevent your fire sprinkler system pipes from freezing with routine maintenance.
• If you have an antifreeze system, a skilled technician will test samples from your fire sprinkler system to make sure the water in your pipes has the correct concentration of antifreeze. This concentration is important and prevents the freezing and bursting of pipes.
• If you have a dry system, a professional will drain the fire sprinkler system and then flush it with water to make sure it is operating properly and there are no cracks or leaks. Once the pipes are dry, the technician will seal the pipes and pressurize them with air.
