One thing I haven;t heard was that sprinklers do save lives. Money is the big issue in home building.. The average sprinkler system costs less to install than flooring or fancy draperies throughout and the important issue is that they do save lives. I am a sprinkler contractor and have yet to date had a repair on a frozen sprinkler pipe if installed correctly. The biggest problem we have today is that general contractors are hiring incapable people and that creates the problem. The other problem is building inspectors that are not doing their job. all of the issues in the posts could of been avoided if the inspectors and mechanics did their job instead of just throwing piping in the ceilings, not certified to do the job and building inspectors that spend most of their time greasing their pockets. How many people would still be living if their was a sprinkler system in their home and to replace a piece of sheetrock or some carpeting should be a refreshing thought is that is all you had to do. Funeral arrangements and grieving last a life time.SPRINKLERS DO SAVE LIVES!
