Installation FAQ

What fire sprinkler services do you offer near me in Oklahoma? Where do you service fire sprinklers?

Atomic offers routine maintenance, repair, and installation of fire sprinkler systems across Oklahoma. Our inspections are quarterly, semiannual, and annual, with five‑year internal obstruction assessments available.

What is included in a complete fire sprinkler system installation service?

We submit and approve plans to install fire sprinkler systems based on a building’s suggested system size, calculations, and hazards it is protecting against.  Install plans are subject to NFPA and AHJ standards.

What is the cost to install a fire sprinkler system in an assisted living facility?

Cost varies based on the size of the property. Most of our customers already have fire sprinklers installed and we maintain them, but we are certified to install new systems as well. Contact us for an estimate!

How does a fire sprinkler system work and what benefits does it offer?

Fire sprinklers come in a variety of setups. The two most common systems are:

Wet sprinkler systems are under constant pressure in the pipe. The sprinkler heads are heat-rated and once they reach a certain temperature, the glass or link in the sprinkler head breaks, causing water to burst out.

Dry systems are under constant air pressure. Once the air pressure is compromised and released, the dry valve at the sprinkler riser releases the water, which fills the system and escapes out of the sprinkler heads or open holes in the system. 

The benefits of fire sprinkler systems:

  • Reduce fire damage to property
  • More likely to save lives
  • Only the heads that are activated will go off on these systems 

 

When is a fire sprinkler system required for commercial properties?

This depends on your city’s requirements. Most new commercial builds require fire sprinkler systems. Contact us to find out what your city requires. 

Can I install my own fire sprinkler system, or should I hire a professional?

Only a licensed fire sprinkler technician working for a licensed fire sprinkler company can install and service fire sprinkler systems in the state of Oklahoma.

Do installers need a license to install fire sprinklers?

Yes. Installers must be licensed and work for a licensed fire sprinkler company.

Our senior fire sprinkler installer has been licensed for 20 years, so your building will be in expert hands!

How long does it typically take to install a fire sprinkler system?

It depends on the building size and requirements.

What is the procedure for installing a fire sprinkler system in an existing business?
  1. Assess business and design plans
  2. Obtain permit
  3. Installation

Usually, sprinkler systems are already installed in an existing business, but there are Tenant Improvement projects where the sprinkler systems are made to fit the tenant moving in.

How many fire sprinklers or heads are required per square foot or per zone?

There are several spacing requirements for sprinkler systems, including:

  • Sprinkler heads have to be a minimum of 6’ away from each other but no more than 15’ away from each other.
  • Sprinkler heads must be a maximum of 7.5’ from the walls. 
Are there special considerations for installing fire sprinkler systems in commercial properties?

Most definitely.

We assess the environment. If it is a colder climate or the building doesn’t have heaters in its attic, or there is an outside area / awning that has sprinklers, we recommend a dry system or have antifreeze loops to prevent systems from freezing up during the cold weather. Some of our customers have both wet and dry systems based on what their business needs.

Inspections FAQ

What does a comprehensive fire sprinkler system inspection include?

An annual inspection includes:

  • Testing the waterflow switch that is commonly tied into an electric bell / fire alarm.
  • Testing the drain, control valve, inspector’s test valve
  • Checking the gauges and reading the pressures while flowing water through the system. 
  • Conducting a sprinkler head walk to ensure there’s proper coverage and the sprinkler heads are in good condition
  • Looking at any obstructions that may be blocking the sprinkler heads.
  • Checking when the last 5 year internal obstruction test was done
  • Ensuring the sprinkler head box has the proper amount of spares and a wrench.
  • Verifying all dry system components are working and lines are clear of water

During a quarterly inspection, we:

  • Check the control valve, main drain and inspector’s test.
  • Ensure that signals are reported to a fire panel or by the electric bell or water motor gong

Quarterly inspections are less intensive than an annual but we ensure that the basic components are functional. 

How often should fire sprinkler systems be inspected? Annually? Every 5 years?

Fire sprinkler systems should be inspected annually.

Assisted living facilities need quarterly inspections.

Every sprinkler system should have 5 year internal obstruction inspections. 

What are the typical costs involved in a fire sprinkler system inspection and testing?

Costs depend on the size of the system / building. Most nursing homes are around $375. Some systems are $150 to inspect. A 5-year internal obstruction inspection is usually $600 per riser / system.

What property types do you inspect?

We inspect commercial properties, apartments, assisted living facilities, warehouses, restaurants, and stores. We rarely inspect residential.

What standards and inspection requirements do your services adhere to?

We follow NFPA code books when it comes to testing all fire protection equipment. Sprinklers fall under NFPA 13 but several other books apply to testing and fire pumps – NFPA 20 and NFPA 25.

How should a building be prepared for a fire sprinkler system inspection?

After we schedule the inspection, there generally isn’t any preparation the customer has to do.

Rarely, the inspector’s test or main drain is next to a parking lot, so we warn the business that water will be flowing out of the building and to move any cars close by. 

What certifications and expertise do your fire sprinkler inspectors hold?

Our inspectors have an Oklahoma Department of Labor Inspector and Technician license. They are also certified for backflow inspections.

How do you handle repairs or maintenance after a fire sprinkler inspection reveals issues?

If the inspection reveals critical deficiencies, we are obligated to notify the fire marshal and keep the office updated on the repair.

If there are deficiencies, we yellow tag a system. If the deficiencies make the system inoperable, we red tag the system.
