Commercial Sprinkler System Installation Services

A sprinkler system saves lives and property and must be installed correctly and pass. Since 2013, we have worked on commercial plumbing and fire protection services throughout the GTA, and have created each system to NFPA and Ontario code. This service is offered in addition to the comprehensive HVAC services and mechanical work throughout the region.

How a Fire Sprinkler System Works

A fire sprinkler system is a network of pipes fitted with heads that release water when a fire starts. The heads are activated individually, so only those close to the fire open. This is a common misconception and should be addressed, as one small fire will not trigger all the heads in the building. Water flows as soon as the head is opened, and it controls the fire before fire crews arrive. A properly designed sprinkler system installation can deliver water where it is needed quickly and help prevent a small fire from becoming a big one.

When Your Building Needs a Sprinkler System

Most commercial buildings require a sprinkler system, and the code determines depending on the building’s size, use, and hazard. We plan and install systems for various situations throughout the GTA:

• New commercial construction that needs sprinklers for its occupancy permit
• A change of use or renovation that results in a code upgrade.
• An older building being retrofitted to meet current standards
• A warehouse or industrial facility having a high fire load.
• An insurer that requires a system before they will cover the property
• An additional floor area that exceeds the code requirement.

Not sure if the code applies to your building? We check the requirements and lay out your options.

The Sprinkler Systems We Install

The type of sprinkler system you need depends on the space, the temperature, and the things you want to protect. We install and design all four main types across the GTA:

• Wet pipe: the standard system for heated buildings, with water always in the pipes.
• Dry pipe: in cold areas such as parking garages, where water may freeze in a wet pipe system.
• Pre-action: for server rooms and archives, where you cannot risk water on the equipment.
• Deluge: for high-hazard areas where all heads must open simultaneously.

We match the system to your building, not the other way around.

What Goes Into a Sprinkler Installation

A fire sprinkler system installation is not just pipe-hanging but a complete design and build project. From the initial drawing to the final test, we do it all, and we connect the system to your water main or a separate fire main. The following is included in the work:

• Design and hydraulic calculation: we design and calculate the head layout and flow planning for full coverage.
• Piping and heads: we use steel or approved pipe and install heads at code spacing.
• Risers and valves: we install the control, alarm, and check valves at the riser.
• Backflow and the fire department connection: we protect the supply and fit the FDC.
• Water flow alarms: we install an alarm that indicates when the system is operating.
• Testing and commissioning: pressure-tested, flushed and signed off by inspectors.

Every commercial fire sprinkler installation ends with a test and the documents you need to occupy.

Sprinkler Installation for New Construction and Retrofits

We install the same layout, piping and head work, whether the building is being constructed or already occupied. Both of these paths require different management and we have plans for both.

• New construction: we design from your drawings and rough in the pipe ahead of the drywall. We work off the general contractor’s schedule and coordinate with the other trades, so the sprinkler stage never holds up the build. Heads and finishes are installed along with the fit-out and tested before your occupancy inspection.
• Retrofit: we explore the existing building site to design around existing elements. We connect to your current supply or install a new fire main and make the installation in phases that will allow the building to remain open. We install pipe in finished ceilings in as minimal a manner as possible and install all heads to current code spacing.

New or existing, we handle the layout, the piping, and the head installation ourselves, and the job ends with a full test and sign-off.

Let Us Match the Right System to Your Building

You don’t have to be familiar with NFPA 13 before you dial the phone. Describe your building, its use and your timeline, and we’ll take it from there. We evaluate the space, run the design, and inform you of the system that the code requires. You receive clear information and a sincere quote, free of jargon and upselling.

Racing an Occupancy Deadline?

If the sprinkler system is missing, your permit may be delayed and so will be your opening day. Everest meets tight deadlines throughout the GTA and works in tandem with all other trades to ensure the build process stays on track. Give us a call, and we will design, install, and sign off on your schedule. Since 2013, we’ve been delivering GTA projects and we know how to meet a tough deadline.

The Steps in Your Sprinkler Installation

Each sprinkler system is installed in the same sequence and you never have to guess where the job stands.

• Design: we draw the system and run the hydraulic calculations.
• Permits: we arrange the city permits, approval, and inspection schedule.
• Install: we lay pipe, install heads & connect to supply.
• Test and commission: pressure-test, flush, and sign off with the inspector.

Sprinkler Installation Pricing You Can Plan Around

Sprinkler installation cost depends on the building size, the system type, and the number of heads. A small retail unit is much less expensive than a warehouse with a dry system and fire pump. A quote is provided before any work is started, so there are no surprises on the bill. Everest offers a free quote from the drawings or on-site visit, and all work is fairly priced and done.
