A residential fire sprinkler system is a building fire-protection system designed to release water under specified fire conditions. It is different from a landscape irrigation system.
What this means at your property
An activation or leak can create water-damage work alongside a fire-protection issue. The drying contractor’s role and the sprinkler specialist’s responsibility for evaluating and restoring the system should be made explicit.
Who should approve putting the system back in service?
Use the qualified fire-protection provider and applicable responsible authority. Do not treat completion of water extraction or ceiling repair as confirmation that sprinkler equipment has been inspected or restored to its intended function.
