Are your Fire Sprinklers Ready? 

In the event that a fire occurs in your Fullerton business you want to make sure that your sprinklers are functioning properly to protect your building from extreme damage. Routinely checking the reliability of your system by following these three steps is the best way to prepare for an unexpected event.

1. Conduct Regular Inspections- Sprinkler systems are made up of multiple parts and piping. Each part needs to be visually inspected at various intervals to make sure they are fit for use. Check with your local fire codes to know which inspections should be carried out monthly, quarterly, annually, and every five years. 
2. Follow a testing protocol on schedule- Regularly testing fire sprinkler systems to confirm that they are working properly and reliably is essential in keeping your property safe.
3. Work with Professionals-The inspections and testing described above are not do-it-yourself endeavors. They should be carried out by fire protection professionals who can monitor and track how your system performs and recommend any repairs or replacements needed. Generally, most fire suppression systems need to be fully replaced after 10 years.
