How do Fire Sprinklers Work?
You’ve probably seen a movie or to where someone gets mad at their boss or company and holds a lighter up to the sprinkler. This causes all the sprinklers to go off at once, drenching the office. In real life, you would definitely need a fire sprinkler repair in Kanas City if that actually happened. In real life, fire sprinklers are designed to put out fires and turn them off quickly.
Let’s look at how sprinklers work and why you should have them inspected regularly. Not only for the sake of your business but also to make sure you do not have a fire sprinkler leak in Kansas City.

Pressurized Water
It takes a lot of network piping to install the fire sprinkler heads in your building. At Aegis Fire Protection, we want to ensure you do not need fire sprinkler repair in Kansas City, so the best time to install the sprinkler system is during construction. That way, the pipes are installed behind the walls and ceilings.
Temperature Sensitivity
Sprinklers will go off in a building if the temperature rises and they detect a temperature change indictive of a fire. The fire alarm service in Kansas City will work simultaneously with the sprinkler system to make sure these aren’t too sensitive. For example, if your employee burns their meal in the microwave, you won’t have to worry about setting off the sprinklers.
The mechanism in the fire sprinkler head depends on the system you choose to install with Aegis Fire Protection. Some fire sprinkler heads have liquid-filled glass vials that shatter at high temperatures. Aegis will consult with you on what is best for your particular situation.
Quick Response
Pressurized water is released as soon as the sprinkler system detects an increase indicative of a fire. If these mechanisms fail when there is no indication of a fire and begin leaking, be sure to contact Aegis for a fire sprinkler leak in Kansas City. Often the automatic sprinkler system can suppress a fire before the first responders even arrive at the building.
Fire sprinkler systems should be a component of a complete prevention system in your building. These other devices should include a fire alarm service in Kansas City and fire extinguishers.
