"This was the only company that had an easy way to connect to an emergency tech. Mark came out same day to repair the broken fire sprinkler pipe in the attic. Yes, there had also been a flood earlier that day. We didn't want to wait until Monday for water. Mark was friendly and worked quickly. Thank you!"

"I had a terrible fire sprinkler leak in my garage. It was literally dripping down my walls! I called Symons Fire Protection and spoke with John and he was able to arrange for a technician to come out within an hour due to the urgency. He was so nice and courteous on the phone! Florencio came out to fix the leak. He was so knowledgeable and explained to me exactly what was going on. He promptly fixed the leak and even took videos to show me where the leak was. I am super grateful that they were able to fix my leak so quickly. Their prices were also very reasonable. Thank goodness for such a wonderful team!"

"Symons response time could not have been better. Contact over the phone was near immediate, and a technician was in my home within about 45 minutes to examine water dripping slowly from a fire sprinkler. After checking out the ceiling sprinkler and surrounding pipe, he was fairly convinced the leak was from something unrelated to the sprinkler piping but continued his investigation until finding the source. He then went up into the attic and found a pinhole leak in one of my plumbing pipes about 4 feet from the sprinkler where the water was dripping from. The water from the leak was streaming down some plastic where its low point was at the sprinkler. He did what he could to temporarily redirect the leak for collection to avoid further damage (above and beyond his call of duty) until the plumber arrived to fix the pipe. Top notch service and thorough. Thank you."

"Outstanding response and service. Over the Memorial Day weekend our intake pipe at our townhome community exterior closet sprung a leak and water was going everywhere. Called the "Emergency Line Number" and a human actually picked up! A very talented technician was immediately sent out to fix the problem and it was fixed perfectly. This company is excellent and our new "go to" for all things related to fire sprinkler maintenance and repairs."

Frequently Asked Questions
Nope.
Smoke detectors save lives by providing a warning system but do nothing to extinguish a growing fire or protect those physically unable to escape independently, such as the elderly or small children. Oftentimes, battery-operated smoke detectors fail to function because the batteries are dead or have been removed. As the percent of homes in America that were “protected” with smoke detectors increased from zero to more than 70%, the number of fire deaths in homes did not significantly decrease.
Sprinklers provide a high level of life safety.
Statistics demonstrate that there's never been any multiple loss of life in a fully sprinklered building. In fact, residences with fire sprinklers lose 85% less property than those without sprinklers. The combination of automatic sprinklers and early warning systems in all buildings and residences can reduce overall injuries, loss of life, and property damage by at least 50%.
The odds are 1 in 16 million.
According to the factory Mutual Research Corporation the odds of a sprinkler going off accidentally are 1 in 16 million. In other words, you are more likely to get struck by lightning or win the lottery than have a sprinkler activate accidentally. Moreover, all new sprinkler systems use sprinklers and piping that are rated for normal system pressures to 175 psi. These components can withstand pressure far in excess of that for short periods of time. All systems are pressure tested at 200 psi for two (2) hours as is required by the manufacturers and local fire codes.
Nuh-uh.
Each sprinkler head works independently from the others and is activated by a heat only sensitive mechanism. In short, only the sprinkler over the fire will activate. If the fire spreads, then and only then will another sprinkler activate. In most home fires, only one or two sprinklers are actually triggered. Contrary to popular belief, burnt toast or smoke will not activate a sprinkler - only heat in excess of approximately 68°C/155°F.
Consider this...
A residential fire sprinkler will expel roughly 15 gallons of water per minute while a fire hose sprays about 150 gallons of water per minute. In comparison, water damage would be far less than the alternatives.
On the contrary.
You should receive a discount for having a residential fire sprinkler system. If you do not receive a discount that you feel is adequate, then shop around.
