The best way to protect your house or business from a fire is with a comprehensive fire sprinkler system. But, if you want your sprinklers to take care of you, you must do the same for them. Thankfully, sprinkler system maintenance is as easy as calling GMW Fire Protection.

GMW Fire Protection has been promoting fire safety among families and businesses in Anchorage, AK for over 15 years, providing services like fire sprinkler system repair, installation of emergency and exit lighting, fire suppression device management, and more. GMW's technicians are fully-certified and accredited, and they have installed sprinkler systems in a wide variety of buildings, from residential homes to office buildings. They know firsthand how important it is to have your sprinklers inspected by professionals like GMW Fire Protection.

Ideally, sprinkler system inspections should happen on a quarterly basis, or whenever you make major changes like a shift in your building's occupancy, major remodels to the building, or during issues with the public water supply. In addition, you should protect your system by never painting the sprinkler heads or hanging anything from them, and by keeping the system's control valves in the open position.

The benefits from this kind of simple maintenance are substantial. Regular inspections can reveal problems with the system early enough to fix them at a minimal expense, and there are significant insurance benefits that come with a well-maintained sprinkler system. You'll also have peace of mind as a home or business owner, knowing that you've taken steps to protect your home or business from a fire.
