Fire sprinkler discharge cleanup is a different kind of water damage. A single sprinkler head can put out somewhere around 10 to 25 gallons a minute, and it keeps running until someone shuts the system valve. The water that comes out has often sat in steel or CPVC pipe for years. It is dark, it smells and it can carry oil and rust. We treat it as Category 2 or 3 depending on what we find.

Sprinkler systems are common in Utah County apartments and townhomes, including a lot of the newer buildings in Lehi, Vineyard and Saratoga Springs. Heads get knocked off by a ladder, a moving box or a kid hanging from one. In a cold snap, a line in an unheated attic or garage can freeze and crack a fitting.

First, shut the sprinkler control valve and call your fire sprinkler contractor to restore the system. Then call us. Our crew starts water extraction fast, because sprinkler water spreads across several rooms or several units in minutes. We remove affected materials, clean hard surfaces to take off the black residue and run structural drying. In multi-unit buildings we check the units below and next door, since water moves through shared ceilings and walls.

We document everything with photos and moisture logs for the property manager and the adjuster. For the smell sprinkler water leaves behind, see odor and smoke removal. Call (385) 853-1062.

Fire Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Fire Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup

Questions we hear about Fire Sprinkler Discharge Cleanup in Orem, UT.

Talk to our crew
How fast does water damage need to be dried out?
Drying should start within the first day. Mold can begin growing on wet drywall and carpet pad in 24 to 48 hours, and clean water from a broken supply line picks up bacteria the longer it sits. The sooner extraction starts, the more material can be dried in place instead of torn out.
Will my homeowners policy cover water damage in Utah?
Most policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, like a burst pipe, a broken washing machine hose or a water heater that lets go. Gradual leaks, poor upkeep and outside flooding are often excluded unless you carry flood coverage. We cannot tell you what your policy covers, but we document the cause, the moisture readings and the damage the way adjusters expect.
What should I do right after a pipe bursts?
Shut off the main water valve, usually in the basement where the line comes in from the street. Turn off power to any wet area at the breaker. Move what you can off the wet floor, take a few photos and call us at (385) 853-1062. You will also need a plumber to fix the pipe.
Can a secondary irrigation leak flood a basement?
Yes. Pressurized irrigation lines run at high pressure, and a break near the house can soak the soil against the foundation and push water through basement walls or window wells. Shut off your secondary water valve and call us. We dry the basement and show you where the water got in.
