Commercial Fire Sprinklers Water Damage

Fire Sprinklers are of great importance in any commercial facility because of the many factors which is Good. Regardless of the style you install, all fire sprinklers share several important characteristics. Fire sprinklers respond to heat, not smoke, to reduce accidental activation in non-fire situations. Each sprinkler head activates independently to reduce water damage. In fact, in two-thirds of fires where the sprinkler system operates, only one or two sprinkler heads open. The sprinkler system releases much less water than the fire department would use to douse the flames, again reducing water damage. The Bad of course IS the damage that water can do to porous material especially over time. That's why SERVPRO of Ocala and South Marion County knows the importance of fast and effective water damage mitigation.
