Home Fire Sprinkler Systems can save your Home

6/5/2014 (Permalink)

Every 76 seconds a house erupts in flames in the United States. Did you know there is a way to increase your chance of reducing fire damage by 92%? According to the U.S. Fire Administration, when you install home fire sprinklers, it is just like having a real firefighter in your home during a fire. As soon as the censor detects a fire, the fire sprinkler system reacts quickly and can dramatically reduce the heat, flames, and smoke produced by a blaze. Typically it takes about seven to twelve minutes for firefighters to get to a residence during a fire but most house fires are considered “deadly” after 3 minutes, while the fire department is still miles away.

The team of dedicated, experienced technicians at SERVPRO Brea/Yorba Linda specializes in fire and smoke damage repair and can make your residence look brand new. But why not install a home fire sprinkler system to prevent a fire from taking place in the first place? There are primarily two types of home fire sprinklers: Stand Alone Systems and Combined Systems. Stand Alone systems are designed for fire protection use and consist of plastic pipes that are attached by special glue, whereas Combined Systems are pipes connected directly to the plumbing system.  SERVPRO Brea/Yorba Linda recommends installing home fire sprinkler systems because of:

 

  • Simple installation: If your home is already under construction it only requires a little extra piping and labor, but it greatly increases the safety of residents.

  • Low water requirement:  Home fire sprinklers use less water than a firefighter with a hose. Sprinklers can also be connected to the home water supply and require less water than other systems.

  • Low cost: A sprinkler costs about $1.35-1.65 per square foot.  According to the United States Fire Administration that is about the same cost as upgrading cabinets or carpet.

According to the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition, every year fire kills more than 3,000 people. Do yourself a favor: install a home sprinkler system and prevent a fire from ever happening!
