The temperature is dropping fast across Tennessee and Kentucky in 2024. Winter is around the corner. Are your Fire sprinkler systems prepared for the cold?


You might think that having a dry Fire sprinkler system means you’re in the clear because, well, it’s dry. Wrong!


Even in dry systems, moisture from condensation can accumulate in low points or drum drips. Without proper maintenance, this residual water can freeze, leading to pipe bursts, system failure, and costly repairs.


Prevent Frozen Pipes with Proactive Maintenance


Don’t let winter surprise you. Here are key steps to ensure your system stays operational:


Drain Drum Drips Regularly:  Dry systems still require attention to remove any condensation that collects in drum drips or low points. Frozen water here can compromise the entire system.


Check Antifreeze Levels in Wet Systems:  In wet Fire sprinkler systems, antifreeze is a crucial safeguard against freezing temperatures. Ensure proper levels and consistency before the cold hits.


Inspect Exposed Pipes:  Pipes exposed to extreme cold, whether inside or outside your facility, are especially vulnerable. Inspections can identify potential weak points and protect your investment.


Seal Vulnerable Areas:  Check for drafts or poorly insulated areas near Fire sprinkler pipes. Simple fixes like insulation or sealing gaps can significantly reduce the risk of freezing.


Schedule Regular Inspections: Routine maintenance and inspections are your first line of defense. A professional inspection can catch issues early, saving you from costly repairs or system failures.

Fire sprinklers are silently guarding areas of your building, silently waiting in the wings to douse flames when a fire ignites. But just like any mechanical item, they need to be in top shape to perform their duty. That's where fire sprinkler inspections come in.
