Types of Fire Sprinkler Emergencies

• Pipe burst or major leak. A ruptured main or branch line can discharge hundreds of gallons per minute, causing severe water damage to inventory, equipment, and building finishes.
• Sprinkler head activation. Accidental activation (from impact, heat sources, or manufacturing defects) floods the immediate area. The system must be shut down, drained, and the head replaced before restoring protection.
• Freeze damage. Texas cold snaps can freeze pipes in unheated spaces, leading to cracks and leaks when temperatures rise. Dry pipe systems are designed for these areas but still require inspection after freeze events.
• Post-fire system damage. After a fire event, activated heads must be replaced, damaged pipe sections repaired, and the entire system tested before it can be returned to service.

What to Do While Waiting

If safe to do so, locate and close the main sprinkler control valve to stop water flow. Move valuable items away from water. Do not attempt repairs yourself. Improper work can cause additional damage or leave the system non-functional.

Impairment Procedures

When a fire sprinkler system is taken out of service for any reason, most jurisdictions require notification of the local fire marshal and your insurance carrier. An impairment coordinator should establish a fire watch until the system is restored. These requirements vary by jurisdiction, and your contractor will advise on local rules. Call (512) 846-6499 for immediate emergency response.
