An industrial sprinkler in Los Angeles is crucial to the safety of not only your business, but you and your employees as well. There are, however, quite a few myths about not only industrial sprinklers, but fire sprinkler systems themselves. These myths can cause all kinds of untold problems so they need to be dispelled. With that in mind, read on for a few of the myths involving fire sprinkler and industrial sprinkler systems alike.
Myth: Sprinklers Cause Severe Water Damage
One of the biggest myths and one of the top reasons businesses avoid installing industrial sprinklers in Los Angeles is they cause severe water damage. If you stop to think about it, this is the biggest myth. You’re going to see much more damage in a business that has been ravaged by a fire than you ever see from the fire sprinklers that activate to put that same fire out.
Myth: Smoke Alarms are Less Expensive and Good Enough
While it’s a fact smoke alarms and even fire alarms are great to have, they don’t spray water on the fire. A good industrial sprinkler activates when the heat sensors are triggered, thereby targeting the fire until the fireman arrive to take over. An industrial sprinkler can mean the difference between little damage to repair and losing your entire business or apartment building to a raging fire that is out of control.
Myth: They Are Incredibly Expensive
In reality, installing fire sprinklers or industrial sprinklers in your business isn’t as expensive as you might think. Many insurance companies even offer steep discounts for installing these sprinklers because they can greatly reduce the damage in the event of a fire.
