DON'T Try this With Your Sprinkler System

Please don't hang your clothes on your sprinkler system; hang them on the clothing rack.

Being in the restoration industry, we sometimes see the direct causation from unattended mistakes and property damage. One of the most common loss creators is the fire sprinkler system and how simple isolated mistakes create massive problems. Here is how you can prevent an enormous water loss created by your fire sprinkler system:

Don’t Leave The Kitchen While Cooking

One of the first job sites I went on was started when a client left the room while a pan had hot grease. When grease reaches a specific temperature, it becomes combustible, and one little splatter of water will start a massive grease fire. Our team of professionals wants you to stay safe by not leaving your food unattended while cooking. We also advise you to avoid leaving your stove on while not home. The recent stove upgrades that promote the ability to leave it on while at work are a massive accident waiting to happen. Please avoid doing this.

It’s A Sprinkler, Not A Closet Hanger

One of my buddies got into major trouble when I was in college after the sprinkler system was weighed down by these LED lights he had hanging. The systems weren’t set up to hold any weight, so when you have something hanging, it creates pressure that, over time, causes it to break off the wall. When this happens, you have a rainforest of water that will be spraying throughout your room.
