Fire Sprinkler Freeze Protections

Most commercial buildings have a fire sprinkler system installed in the ceiling of their property.  As the freezing temperatures continue throughout our area, this is something our businesses in the St. Louis area will want to keep an eye on.  If a pipe would burst in your system, it can cause a lot of damage in just minutes.  Here are a few tips to help prevent your sprinkler system from having any problems.

1. Have your system checked regularly
2. Make sure it’s properly insulated from the freezing temperatures
3. Check to make sure there are no major leaks

Checking these things can definitely help but doesn’t mean it still can’t happen to you.  If you find your business in this situation, give SERVPRO of South Chesterfield/Wildwood a call at 636-537-5400.  We’ll be able to make it “like it never even happened” and have your business back open in no time!
