Frimley Case Study
Fixing a Fire Sprinkler System Contaminated by Debris, Bryant Close, Frimley
A homeowner faced ongoing issues with their fire sprinkler system, including false alarms and the pump activating unnecessarily. The problem turned out to be a build-up of debris and sediment in the pipes and tank, caused by corroded pipes and stagnant water.
To fix the problem, the system was shut down, and a detailed inspection revealed significant contamination. The team flushed the pipes with clean water to clear out debris and replaced the worst corroded sections with more durable, corrosion-resistant materials.

Once the repairs were completed, the system operated smoothly again, with no more false alarms or unexpected pump activations. To keep things running reliably, regular maintenance was scheduled to catch and prevent similar issues in the future.
