Automatic fire sprinkler systems are a critical component of modern fire protection strategies, engineered to detect and suppress fires rapidly without the need for manual activation. Activated by elevated heat levels, these systems initiate targeted water discharge to control or extinguish flames, significantly mitigating fire spread, minimizing structural damage, and enhancing life safety. Their effectiveness not only supports emergency response efforts but can also contribute to compliance with fire safety codes and lead to substantial insurance savings.
Shearer Fire Protection specialize in the complete lifecycle of fire sprinkler systems—from code-compliant design and precision installation to regular inspection, maintenance, and prompt repairs. Our technical expertise ensures each system performs reliably when it matters most.
Fire Sprinkler Design
Our fire sprinkler system designs are developed to provide optimal coverage and reliable performance, tailored specifically to the layout and occupancy type of each building. Using hydraulic calculations and CAD-based layouts, we ensure precise placement of sprinkler heads and piping to meet both functional and regulatory requirements.
Each system is engineered in accordance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards—primarily NFPA 13, 13R, or 13D depending on the project type—and undergoes a thorough review to ensure compliance with local building codes, fire ordinances, and AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) requirements.
From the initial design phase through permitting and inspection, we prioritize code compliance, efficiency, and life safety—so your system not only protects, but passes with confidence.
Fire Sprinkler Installation
New Builds and Retrofit
Whether you’re building new or upgrading an existing property, we specialize in the installation of fire sprinkler systems for residential and mixed-use buildings, including multi-family homes, townhomes, and apartment complexes. Our team designs and installs reliable wet pipe systems, the most common and effective solution for these occupancies—where water is constantly maintained in the piping for a rapid response in the event of a fire.
We handle installations for both new construction projects and retrofit applications, working closely with builders, developers, and property owners to ensure seamless integration with existing structures and compliance with all relevant NFPA standards and local fire codes.
Fire Inspections, Repair and Maintainence
Fire sprinkler systems require regular maintenance to ensure they remain functional, code-compliant, and ready to respond in an emergency. We provide routine service, inspections, and repairs for wet pipe systems in residential and multi-unit properties, including apartments and mixed-use buildings.
Our services cover:
- Annual inspections and testing in accordance with NFPA 25
- Troubleshooting and repairs for leaks, faulty heads, or valve issues
- System performance checks to ensure proper pressure and flow
- Code compliance support and documentation for AHJ inspections
