You don’t need to sweat your Tampa fire sprinkler leak repair when you have DynaFire on your team. We handle your leak repairs just like every other Fire & Life Safety Solution we offer – with rigorous attention to detail and a passion for high-quality service.

Depending on the severity of your fire sprinkler system leak, it could go unnoticed for quite some time, and may only be discovered during a system inspection. Alternatively, you may notice it soon after it begins – picture a slow-drip from a sprinkler head or some water damage appearing on the ceiling. No matter the situation, you want the experts onsite for your Tampa fire sprinkler leak repair. 

You need your sprinkler system to work because it saves lives and property. A 2017 NFPA report found that the fire-related death rate was almost 90% lower in properties that were equipped with fire sprinkler systems over those that were not. Ensuring that your sprinkler system is fully operational is absolutely critical to its function, and the experienced Fire & Life safety professionals from DynaFire are up to the task. In this blog, we will discuss a few of the reasons that you might need Tampa fire sprinkler leak repair, but if you already know that you do, go ahead and contact us ASAP.

Reasons You Might Need Tampa Fire Sprinkler Leak Repair

Manufacturer Defects

Although rare, manufacturer defects and equipment failure can cause leaks. The best way to stay ahead of these hard-to-detect problems is to have regular inspections and maintenance done on your fire sprinkler system. Our NICET-trained technicians can spot potential issues from a mile away (that may be a slight exaggeration, but they don’t miss a thing).

Damage To Sprinkler Heads Or Other Components

Fire sprinkler heads are the most recognizable and often the most visible part of your sprinkler system. Since they are highly visible, they can often sustain accidental or intentional damage from building occupants. Fire sprinkler heads are activated by reacting to heat, but an accidental discharge can be caused by something as simple as an object hitting the sprinkler head and bending it, or breaking the glass bulb heat-response element. 

The good news is that sprinkler heads activate independently, so if you have one that has discharged or sprung a leak, it doesn’t mean that the rest of your building will have activated sprinkler heads too.

Corrosion

Anything that involves water, oxygen, and metal is bound to cause corrosion, making this an extremely common reason to need Tampa fire sprinkler leak repair. Corroded pipes will leak, and corroded fire sprinkler heads may leak or fail to activate in a fire, as corrosion could hold the release mechanism or water seal together.

NFPA code states that “any sprinkler shall be replaced that has signs of leakage; is painted, other than by the sprinkler manufacturer, corroded, damaged, or loaded; or is in the improper orientation.” so any signs of corrosion will indicate the need to have new components installed.
