Signs You Need Fire Sprinkler Repairs
An inoperable or damaged fire sprinkler system is, in many ways, an even larger danger than you may expect. This is mainly because a damaged sprinkler often shows no obvious outward signs, and since you only rely on these systems during an emergency, it’s often too late if an issue is discovered once a fire has started.
This makes understanding the signs of needing maintenance and repair vital, so keep a close eye out for:
- Corrosion or visible external damage: It’s highly recommended that in addition to calling a certified maintenance professional, your on-site technicians or maintenance teams inspect for noticeable signs of sprinkler system damage. Signs of rust, corrosion, or bending/cracking must be repaired immediately.
- Leaking from sprinkler heads or piping: A leaking sprinkler presents a risk in the event of a fire and can cause considerable water damage and mold growth in your business. Any leak, no matter how small, needs to be addressed.
- Sprinkler system trips: The tripping of a dry, pre-action, or deluge system can allow water to get into piping that may freeze in cold environments. Contact Fire Pros if you get any alarms such as low-air or waterflow, and we can help reset your sprinkler system.

Fire Sprinkler System Repair FAQs
Can I repair my fire sprinkler system myself?
No. According to NFPA 25, a sprinkler system repair can only be carried out by a certified and qualified company. The risks of improper repairs include a system that doesn’t operate during an emergency, fire sprinkler leaks, damage to the fire sprinkler heads, and more.
How long does a typical fire sprinkler repair take?
A sprinkler repair typically takes a few hours for common fixes like a leak repair, replacing a sprinkler head, repairing a backflow preventer, replacing a faulty valve, or installing a new pull switch. Fire sprinkler maintenance and inspections can take up to a full day or longer, depending on the system and its complexity.
What should I do if my fire sprinkler system activates accidentally?
The first step is to call the fire department and alert them that your system has been activated. Often, the fire alarm will also activate, which may automatically dispatch the fire department.
When the fire department clears the building and ensures there’s no emergency, the fire department or fire official will direct you to turn off the sprinkler system using the water supply valve.
Move anything important in the affected area to a dry location, then call your insurance provider, your fire protection company, and a restoration company to start the repair process for your building and sprinkler system.
