Q: Can I operate my system off our well?A: In most cases operating off a well is no problem. Our team members design each system to operate off a primary, secondary and tertiary water supply that will be or could be used.
-
Q: How does a sprinkler system actually work to defend my home?A: The function of an exterior sprinkler system is to minimize the opportunity for ignition by wetting the home and surrounding property. This tactic aims to increase the relative humidity surrounding the structure thereby decreasing the chances for embers and burning debris to ignite on or around it.
-
Q: Can a rooftop or exterior sprinkler system guarantee the safety of my home during a wildfire?A: While these systems significantly reduce the risk of fire damage, no system can provide a 100% guarantee. They should be part of a comprehensive fire safety plan that includes defensible space, fire-resistant materials, and evacuation strategies.

Q: Will installing a sprinkler system lower my home insurance?A: Some insurance companies may offer discounts for homes with fire mitigation systems. It's worth checking with your insurance provider to see if they offer any incentives.
-
Q: How often should I test my sprinkler system?A: It's recommended to test the system at least once a year, preferably before the start of the wildfire season, to ensure it's in working order.
-
Q: What happens if there's a power outage during a wildfire, will my sprinkler system still work?A: If your system relies on electric pumps, it's advisable to have a backup power source, such as a generator or gas pump to ensure the system can operate during a power outage.
