Sprinkler Systems

Keep your property safe with reliable fire suppression

 

The difference between a minor accident and a major business shutdown is how fast your sprinkler systems activate. Fire sprinklers are built to detect and neutralize fires in real time. 

CFPS will inspect and test all of your sprinkler systems to ensure they meet the highest safety standards and regulatory compliance.

Sprinklers for Every Need

All sprinkler systems use water, foam or both to extinguish a fire, though each system does so in its own unique way depending on your needs.

 

Wet

A sprinkler system with piped water distribution and water present at the sprinkler heads. Sensors in the sprinkler heads activate immediately upon detection of fire to suppress it. This is the most commonly used system for industrial and commercial buildings with no risk of freezing.

 

Alternate

These systems have water present within the pipes in warm weather seasons, then are drained and filled with air for cold weather seasons. Typically used in unheated properties such as parking garages.

Dry

Water is not present at the sprinkler heads, instead being held back using air pressure. Sensors in the sprinkler heads activate upon detection of fire, releasing the control valve to draw water through the pipes to the heads. Typically used in areas where ambient temperatures pose a risk of freezing the water within the pipes.

 

Pre-Action

Systems designed to activate only at a specific trigger event, because an accidental sprinkler activation could results in the damage or loss of assets within the coverage area. Typically used in buildings to protect high-value areas such as museums and computer labs.

Foam

Can be either a wet or a dry system, but uses foam to extinguish a fire, instead of water. Typically used in protecting industrial properties that manage hazardous materials and flammable liquids.

 

Deluge

Designed without heat sensors, the sprinkler heads remain open and spray water simultaneously upon being triggered. Can be water-based or foam-based. Used in cases where a large area needs to be extinguished, typically in industrial properties that manage hazardous materials and flammable liquids.
