Last winter’s prolonged freezing temperatures resulted in an unprecedented number of emergency service calls for frozen sprinkler piping and burst pipes across our customer base. Many of these emergencies could have been prevented with proper winterization before temperatures dropped.
As colder weather approaches, now is the time to prepare your facility—not after the first freeze.
Dry sprinkler systems are specifically designed to protect areas exposed to freezing temperatures, including parking garages, loading docks, unheated warehouses, rooftop structures, and other semi-exposed environments. While these systems are built for cold-weather applications, they still require seasonal maintenance to perform reliably throughout the winter.
Over time, condensation and residual water naturally collect inside dry system piping, even in systems that are properly installed and regularly inspected. Moisture accumulates in low points where it can freeze as temperatures drop. While annual inspection and testing verify that your system operates correctly, they do not remove this trapped water.
That’s where winterization makes the difference.
During a winterization service, a qualified RAEL technician uses specialized equipment to remove accumulated moisture from your dry sprinkler system, helping reduce the risk of frozen piping, blocked water flow, false trips, pressure loss, pipe damage, and costly emergency repairs.
If your facility has dry sprinkler systems protecting parking garages, loading docks, or other areas exposed to freezing temperatures, waiting until winter arrives is simply too late.
Winter won’t wait. Neither should you.
Protect your facility before freezing temperatures arrive. Whether you manage one property or an entire portfolio, RAEL can help ensure your dry sprinkler systems are prepared for the winter months.
