Protect your home with
a custom fire sprinkler system
Residential Fire Sprinklers Incorporated can design
and install a fire sprinkler system that will enhance the value of
your home and protect the safety of your loved ones. New legislation
in Washington State is requiring the installation of fire sprinkler
systems in most new home construction. Consider the following:
•Home fires cause approximately 4000 deaths each year in
residences without fire protection systems, while there have been no
known deaths in residences equipped with fire sprinkler
systems.
•90% of the time just one sprinkler head will put
out a fire in a few moments, applying only 10 to 26 gallons of water
a minute. A fire hose connected to a fire truck will apply from 125
to 250 gallons per minute, often causing much more (water) damage
than the actual fire itself!
•With a 4-minute response time,
the fire department will arrive between 9 and 12 minutes after the
fire has started, while a sprinkler head will respond as soon as the
heat builds to 155 degrees. In most cases, only one sprinkler head
will go off to control the fire.
•The average damage to a
home equipped with fire sprinklers is $ 2,166, but the average
damage to a home without fire sprinklers is $ 45,019!
•The
average cost to install a custom designed fire sprinkler system is
only about 1% to 1.5% of the cost of your home, and can be
incorporated into your loan. Also, most insurance company’s will
give you credit if you have fire sprinklers installed in your
home.
