We have a fire sprinkler system in the common area of our 2 family home. The developer set it up to be easily converted to a 3 family. We want to have someone come take a look because the gauge on the top floor seems to be leaking slightly and also because we were told that the caps to the recessed sprinkler heads are not supposed to be painted and we believe they were accidentally.<\/p>\n
We also heard that we are supposed to have the system inspected MONTHLY and to keep a log for a 5 year inspection by the fire department. <\/p>\n
We are new to all of this. Do others here with a system actually do this monthly inspection?? And can anyone recommend someone who does this and who can also check out the leak and change our sprinkler caps? I called Automatic Sprinkler, but they charge a fortune just to come take a look.<\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We have a fire sprinkler system in the common area of our 2 family home.
