Here are some of the benefits you can expect:
Save lives: According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), adding sprinklers to a manufacturing facility lowers the chance of death in a fire by 88 percent. Similarly, sprinklered homes reduce the death rate from fires by 82 percent.
Reduce fire damage: The response time from the fire department averages nine to 12 minutes. In this time, a fire can spread rapidly to destroy more of your building. Because sprinklers activate almost immediately when triggered by high heat from a blaze below, they drastically minimize fire damage.
Reduce water damage: In two-thirds of fires, only one or two sprinkler heads are needed to extinguish the flames. If you wait for firefighters to arrive, they will douse your building with 125 gallons per minute, resulting in more water damage.
Lower your insurance premiums: Even if your building never experiences a fire, the lower insurance premiums help the investment pay for itself.
