You’re on a routine service call and the homeowner asks you to check out the residence’s fire sprinkler system. Is this work a plumber or plumbing contractor should be taking on? After all, the system’s components aren’t that alien to your everyday work. Moving water through piping for various purposes comes with the territory, right?
Sprinkler systems of the fire suppression kind aren’t that common yet on the residential side, but they are finding their way into new construction as well as into remodels and home flips. They’ve been mandatory in new residential construction in California since 2012.
