1. System Alarms or Alerts
Fire suppression systems are equipped with alarms and monitoring systems technology that alert you to potential issues. If you receive any system alerts, do not ignore them. These warnings can indicate a range of problems, from low pressure to malfunctioning parts. Immediate professional service is essential to address these alerts.
2. Visible Damage or Wear
Regular owner visual inspections can reveal signs of damage or wear. Look for corroded pipes, damaged nozzles or visible leaks. Physical damage can compromise the effectiveness of your fire suppression system. If you notice any deterioration, contact Hard Fire immediately for a thorough inspection and necessary repairs.
3. Decreased System Pressure
Pressure is a critical factor in the effectiveness of fire suppression systems. Regularly check the pressure gauges. If you notice a drop in pressure, it could be due to a leak, blockage or other malfunction. Low pressure can severely impact the system’s ability to suppress fires, making prompt service necessary.
4. System Age and Lack of Maintenance
Fire suppression systems, like any other system that runs 24 / 365, and must work when called on have a lifespan.
