Many builders include smoke detectors in every new home they build. And while smoke detectors are important because they warn homeowners to get out if a fire starts, they do nothing to actually put out the fire.
Most new homes are built without home sprinkler systems, even though the newest technologies are available. And if an existing home has a sprinkler system, it could be antiquated and might not work properly.
Is there a better way to protect a home from a fire?
An innovative new kind of home fire sprinkler system has proven to be a reliable and economical option. This new system replaces the traditional stand-alone copper pipes with a system of durable, high-performance plastic tubing.
The plastic supply lines and the sprinkler fittings are tied into the home's plumbing system. Each time a plumbing fixture in the home is turned on, fresh water is drawn to the sprinkler heads. This eliminates stagnant, bacteria-infested water from the sprinkler's circulation system.
In the event of a house fire, the sprinkler head is activated and water is immediately available to put out small fires in just a few seconds, before they can become catastrophic.
Plumbers who install these systems are usually trained and certified by the manufacturer. The systems don't have to be installed by a plumber, but whoever installs them should follow the manufacturer's guidelines.
