Restaurant Sprinkler Repair in Highland

When the sprinkler over your kitchen needs work

Sprinkler trouble rarely waits for a slow night. A head starts to weep. An inspection report lists parts that have to be replaced. A delivery cart clips a branch line on its way to the walk-in.

Call us. We find what failed, fix it, and put the system back in service.

We cover all of Highland (ZIP 92346), from West Highland to East Highland and the historic Palm Avenue district. If you're opening in one of the areas where the city expects new restaurants, such as Town Center on Base Line Street or the Greenspot Village and Marketplace plan on Greenspot Road, have us check the sprinkler system before you start cooking in a space someone else built out.

What we repair

• Sprinkler heads. Leaking, corroded, bent or coated heads. NFPA 25 also says heads that have been in service for 50 years must be replaced or sample-tested.
• Pipe and fittings. Joint leaks, corroded sections and loose hangers.
• Control valves. Valves that stick, won't open all the way or won't hold when closed.
• Gauges. Broken or outdated gauges, which NFPA 25 says must be replaced or tested every five years.
• The spare head cabinet. Missing spares or the wrong wrench.

A new head can't be just any head off the truck. It has to match the head it replaces in temperature rating, response type and coverage, so we check each one before it goes in.

How a repair visit goes

1. We find the cause. A leaking head can be a bad head, or a sign of corrosion or pressure trouble further up the line.
2. We tell you what shuts down. Before we close a valve, you'll know which areas lose sprinkler protection and about how long the work should take.
3. We drain, repair and refill.
4. We check for leaks and reopen the valves.
5. We go over the changes with you.

Can the work wait for off-hours? Usually. Booking before opening or after close means the line isn't cooking under a system that's partly drained.

Who may do the work, and who answers code questions

Our California work is done by Hedrick Fire Protection. Hedrick holds C-16 (fire protection) and C-10 (electrical) contractor licenses. The California State Fire Marshal also licenses Hedrick under Title 19 to inspect, test and maintain water-based fire protection systems, including the five-year sprinkler service and certification.

Code questions go to the city. Highland has its own Fire Department, run under a contract with CAL FIRE. Its Fire Prevention office handles fire marshal duties and can be reached at (909) 864-6861 ext. 248. Highland's municipal code adopts the California Fire Code with local amendments. Before work starts, confirm with Fire Prevention which edition applies to your building and whether your repair needs notice or a permit. More city contacts are on the City of Highland website, and state licensing details are on the California State Fire Marshal site.

The hood system over your cooking line

The wet chemical system in your hood is separate from the sprinklers. It gets its own inspection every six months. Hedrick is also licensed to install and service commercial kitchen hood suppression systems. See our kitchen fire suppression service in Highland.

Need routine checks instead of a repair? See restaurant sprinkler inspections in Highland and Highland fire sprinkler service. If a remodel moves the cooking line and the heads have to move with it, start with fire sprinkler installation. For everything else we do in town, visit the Highland fire protection hub. We also handle restaurant sprinkler repair in Los Angeles County and restaurant sprinkler repair in Orange County.

Tell us when you book. We'll settle payment and site access ahead of time so the technician isn't stuck at a locked door.

Who do I ask about Highland's fire code requirements?

Ask the City of Highland Fire Department's Fire Prevention office at (909) 864-6861 ext. 248. They can tell you which California Fire Code edition applies to your building.

Can any sprinkler head replace a damaged one?

No. The new head has to match the old one's temperature rating, response type and coverage.
