In Greater Heights, TX, Fire sprinkler systems are important to your home or office to save them from a raging fire, but can the result of the water sprinkler system putting the fire out cause water damage?
The answer is definitely yes, due to the fact that a good system will output about 10-25 GPM (gallons per minute) compared to a fire department hose which expels roughly 100GPM.
Home and business sprinkler systems do not used centralized triggers, meaning that they don’t all go off at once and are intended for airport hangars or chemical storage facilities, etc. Instead, the sprinkler heads contained in home and business locations have a trigger at each sprinkler head which will localize the water to a specific room or area minimizing overall damage. These heads are heat sensitive and are triggered at temperatures around 155ºF. Sprinkler systems are very effective for putting out fires and preventing your home or business from going up in flames saving lives while also preventing smoke and soot damage.
In as little as 10 minutes, between 100-250 gallons of water can be expelled to put out your fire, and if it takes longer for the fire department to arrive, then even more water has been released. Once the fire is out, there is water damage to be concerned about. Water damage begins very quickly, within 24-48 hours after the flooding.
