Fire suppression systems in Philadelphia

[Olu O.]

Hi there! I bought a duplex that was being converted to a triplex by the former owner but he did not finish the process. Now I need to install fire suppression/ sprinklers which I am ready to do. Has anyone gone through this process? Any tips or guidance on what I should watch out for ? What companies did you use for the installation ? Thanks so much.

You will likely need to upgrade the water service to the building as well. Verify whether this is the case as you would first need to submit a utility plan.

In Mass you can avoid sprinklers by using 2015 IEBC chapter 14, a quick fire safety analysis of the building and exits.  Ask your architect.  If you need assistance shoot me a line.
