[ Get a Quote ](https://www.certasitepro.com/contact-us) A fire sprinkler system is one of the most popular built-in methods for slowing the spread of a fire. A fire sprinkler is connected to a water supply system, and uses water pressure to propel water or a combination of water and foam to the affected areas. There are several different types of water sprinklers available on the market including:  - **Pre-Action Water Systems:** Requires activation, generally via a heat detection system, in the specific area. - **Deluge:** Floods the entire system with water, all heads are open simultaneously.  - **Foam-Water:** Releases a combination of water and foam which acts as a flame retardant.  - **Standpipe:** Connects the sprinkler system directly to the hydrant system, and can come in 'wet' or 'dry' form.  - **Water Spray:** Covers a horizontal surface area with the ability to avoid certain sections, offering some protection to equipment.  - **Water Mist:** Used when it's determined that water vapor is more effective at fighting the specifications of a potential fire.  - **Water Atomizing:** Delivers a massive amount of water near instantaneously, in droplet form. ##### **Inspection Cycles** All fire sprinkler systems require: - Weekly inspection of gauges - Annual inspection - 5-year internal inspections and FDC checks Depending on the system you have and the requirements from your insurance provider, your sprinkler system may also require quarterly or semi-annual inspection, testing, and maintenance.  ##### **Common Deficiencies** A deficiency is identified during regular inspections when the devices and components do not meet acceptable standards. Here are a few commonly found deficiencies for fire sprinklers:  - Broken or damaged sprinkler heads  - Painted sprinkler heads  - Inventory and equipment stacked too close to a sprinkler head  - Internal blockage and corrosion  ##### **Related Services** - Inspection & Maintenance  - System Installations  - Repair  ###### Products and Services If it has to do with protecting your workplace against fires and other catastrophic events, we probably sell it.
