How sure are you that your Fire Sprinkler system will actually work after 1,5, 10+ years? Well the truth is no one knows for sure and why is that you may ask? Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion or (MIC) has recently been discovered as a contributing force in corrosion of wet, dry and pre-action fire sprinkler systems. Symptoms of MIC include pinhole leaks, smelly water, black water and tubercles.
The symptoms of leaking pipes, smelly water and corrosion around the outside have been considered to be "normal" for fire sprinkler systems and to be part of the industry. We have noticed over the years that MIC has caused extensive damage to buildings, it has cost companies thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands and also has contributed to increases in insurance premiums. Not to mention if your fire sprinkler system does not function as it was intended than it puts people's lives at risk every time someone enters that building. These corrosive concerns have caused some to look for solutions to their problems before they cause extensive damage. There are many other signs of corrosion, however most will generally involve a closer look at the system.
If you're questioning whether or not your system is functioning properly or if your paying for more maintenance than you think than please don't waste anymore time or money. Contact us for further information on you fire sprinkler system.
