Fire sprinklers are a must have, unfortunately they don't always work properly

Fire sprinklers are a requirement and a necessity in every commercial structure to protect against or limit damage caused by fire. As with everything else that performs functions there are annual maintenance schedules to monitor parts that can wear out over time, any neglect or oversight can have lead to a breakdown in the system causing devastating effects and could cost hundreds, thousands and even millions in damage and repairs. In the photo a Fire sprinkler had a leak that allowed primer oil and water to spill out onto a gymnasium basketball court. SERVPRO quickly removed the oil and water and employed drying tactics for addressing trapped and bound moisture in the hardwood court flooring.
