What Causes Accidental Restaurant Sprinkler Activation?

Some common causes include:

• Accidentally hitting a sprinkler head with a ladder or other object can cause activation.
• Proximity to heat sources like lights, electronics, or machinery can also set off a sprinkler.
• Cleaning sprinkler bulbs with compressed air can run the risk of cooling and shattering the sprinkler’s thermal glass bulb, which can also cause discharge.

Many incidences of accidental sprinkler activation are preventable with regular maintenance and the installation of sprinkler head guards.

SERVPRO professionals can extract large amounts of water from sprinkler activation with portable and truck-mounted extractors to prepare a restaurant dining area for structural drying with air movers and dehumidifiers. Cleanup also includes wiping down contents like tables, chairs, and booths with OSHA-approved biocides and performing odor control with solvent-based deodorizers.
