Upgrading or replacing your industrial fire sprinkler is not a trivial matter, as these items are wired and piped throughout your organization. Here are some of the considerations you should keep in mind when you&#8217;re determining whether it&#8217;s time for a quick repair or if a full replacement truly is the best option.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Age of the Building<\/h2>\n<p>Many manufacturers are working in a building that is dozens of years old, if not topping a century. Buildings that were built in this era are prone to significant temperature changes, challenging for a fire protection system such as sprinklers. It&#8217;s possible that a portion of the building is newer and has been upgraded recently with a newer model of fire sprinkler system. If so, it&#8217;s possible that this area may be okay to simply review maintenance and repair. Fire sprinkler technology has come a long way in the past few years and is currently quite advanced in ways that can save you time and money in the event of a disastrous fire.<\/p>\n<h2>The Extent of the Damage<\/h2>\n<p>Has your fire protection professional shared that the damage to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaafireprotection.com\/index.php\/our-services\/industrial-fire-systems\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">fire sprinkler system<\/a> is extensive, or perhaps in a location that will be difficult to replace only a portion of the system? Even relatively new systems may be problematic to hook together, especially if there have been multiple upgrades over the years. If the damage is centralized to a small area of the system, a repair may be a viable alternative. If corrosion is prevalent, it makes more sense to replace now than repair and still end up with an expensive replacement just a few short years down the road.<\/p>\n<h2>Transitioning to a New Type of System<\/h2>\n<p>Water-based systems are excellent, and still offer some of the best quality to cost ratios. The newer systems are available with a nitrogen-based system, predicated on the idea of &#8220;starving&#8221; the fire of oxygen. Nitrogen systems are resistant to corrosion, don&#8217;t have the buildup associated with elements in the water, and overall last up to 4-5 times longer than a traditional wet or dry containment system. Making this transition does generally require a near-complete upgrade as the systems are fundamentally different in the types of materials they are carrying, how to meter the fire-suppression liquid and more.<\/p>\n<p>If you are unsure whether you need to repair or replace your industrial fire sprinkler system, contact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaafireprotection.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AAA Fire Protection<\/a> today at 855-778-7807 for a free no-obligation quote.
