Fire Sprinkler Flooding at Amelia Island Golf Course Pro Shop

4/27/2021 (Permalink)

Water damage in this golf course pro shop was the result of a burst fire sprinkler supply line.

SERVPRO of Fernandina Beach/Jacksonville Northeast responded to a popular resort on Amelia Island when they had a recent water issue.  This resort hosts hundreds, if not thousands, of guests golfing on their golf course each week. In this case, the golf course pro shop experienced water intrusion after a fire sprinkler supply line burst and flooded into the space. SERVPRO of Fernandina Beach/Yulee/North Jacksonville responded immediately and quickly got the situation under control with minimal impact to the shop’s operations.

Fire suppression systems play an important role in maintaining the overall safety of commercial structures. However, as was the case at this pro shop, these systems can malfunction and cause water damage when no fire risk is present.

Building owners and managers should schedule regular inspections of fire sprinklers to reduce the risk of water or fire damage. Property owners who take these measures may be able to lessen the severity or even prevent some incidences of water damage. Prevention is generally more cost effective than emergency water damage repair.
