The wet pipe sprinkler system is often the most suitable and cost-effective option for both commercial and residential premises. This heat-activated system uses stored, pressurised water (in pipes) to reach the individual sprinkler heads nearest to the fire. The targeted distribution of water helps to avoid unnecessary flooding or damage to your property.

Wet pipe sprinkler systems are the most common and most consistently reliable sprinkler system. They have the least amount of components out of any system, and therefore are easy to maintain and less likely to malfunction: the less pieces of the puzzle, the less things can go wrong.
This also makes them the cheapest option in terms of installation and maintenance, and they are discharged instantly following detection of a fire, as water is kept in the pipes at all times.
The lack of extra components means that all we need to do to prepare to modify a wet pipe sprinkler system is shut down the water supply and drain the piping.
In a similar fashion, they require the smallest amount of effort to restore after a fire: the protective power of the system can easily be re-instated by replacing the previously activated sprinklers and turning the water supply back on.
