Corrosion is not uncommon, and can be traced to various causes that promote the formation of obstructions in sprinkler lines. Left unchecked, these obstructions can ultimately decrease water flow to sprinkler heads. The root causes include underground water main breaks, corrosive conditions in the water itself, or microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC).

With our national footprint and purchasing power, SimplexGrinnell has agreements with corrosion engineering firms to both evaluate the condition of your system and offer remediation options. Specially designed MIC test kits allow sterile handling of water and deposit samples, and quick delivery of them to the test laboratory, minimizing the potential for false results. Depending on the cause of the corrosion, SimplexGrinnell can implement a variety of remedial strategies for wet, dry, preaction and deluge systems, designed to prolong the system life and help ensure their full performance in a fire.
