Cold Weather Can Affect Your Businesses Fire Sprinkler Systems

Living in North Iowa we know winters come with some cold weather. In most commercial businesses the buildings have fire sprinkler systems to help put out a fire if one were to ever occur. In winter it is important to check where the sprinklers are located. Sprinkler lines that are along an exterior wall or between entryways with poor heat are exposed to the chance of freezing due to the cold weather. Frozen pipes expand causing the pipe to crack or even break causing water to leak out. Make sure the main water line is labeled so you can turn the water off fast. SERVPRO is trained to come and clean the affected area if a pipe were to break. We have equipment that can get the remaining water out and dry the structure. SERVPRO of Mason City is available 24/7 to come get your business back up and running.
