SPRINKLER SYSTEMS
INSPECTIONS, SALES, SERVICE, AND MAINTENANCE
WHAT ARE FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS?
A fire sprinkler system is an automatic fire protection system designed to detect and suppress fires before they spread. These systems are commonly installed in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, apartment complexes, and warehouses, where fire risks can be significant. Fire sprinkler systems are a crucial part of fire code compliance and provide 24/7 protection by automatically releasing water when high heat is detected.
Why Fire Sprinkler Systems Are Essential
Fire sprinkler systems drastically reduce fire damage and save lives by responding instantly to flames. In fact, studies show that sprinkler systems reduce fire-related deaths by up to 80% and property damage by 50% compared to buildings without them.
Regular fire sprinkler inspections and maintenance are required to ensure the system functions correctly when needed. A certified fire protection technician should inspect and test your system at least once a year to comply with fire code regulations.
HOW DO FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS WORK?
A fire sprinkler system is an essential fire protection system designed to automatically detect and suppress fires before they spread. Fire sprinklers activate individually when they detect high temperatures, allowing for targeted fire suppression that minimizes damage while effectively controlling the flames.
When a fire occurs, heat-sensitive sprinkler heads detect rising temperatures and release water to extinguish the fire at its source. Many fire sprinkler installations are also integrated with fire alarms and monitoring systems, ensuring a rapid response from emergency services.
Failing to maintain your commercial fire sprinkler system can lead to fire code violations, insurance claim denials, and increased fire hazards.

TYPES OF FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS
There are different types of sprinkler systems designed for specific environments and fire risks:
- Wet Pipe Sprinkler Systems – The most common type, always filled with water and ready to discharge when activated.
- Dry Pipe Sprinkler Systems – Used in cold environments where water-filled pipes could freeze; these contain compressed air that releases water when triggered.
- Pre-Action Sprinkler Systems – Require an additional detection system before releasing water, preventing accidental discharges in sensitive areas.
- Deluge Sprinkler Systems – Used in high-risk industrial areas where all sprinklers activate simultaneously to control fast-spreading fires.
We work with Southern Ontario’s top-tier sprinkler contractors to provide expert installation, inspections, and maintenance for commercial and industrial properties.
ANNUAL INSPECTIONS ARE MANDATORY IN ONTARIO
Under the Ontario Fire Code, any property with a fire suppression system is legally required to have an annual fire sprinkler inspection performed by a certified fire protection technician.
These inspections ensure that your system is fully operational, compliant, and ready to protect lives and property in the event of a fire.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON’T COMPLY?
- Hefty fines imposed by fire authorities.
- Insurance claim denials in the event of a fire.
- Orders to correct deficiencies issued by local fire departments, which may require costly repairs.
- Temporary closures or business shutdowns due to unresolved fire safety hazards.
