Full-Service Fire Suppression System Installation & Retrofitting
Fires in commercial and industrial facilities cost U.S. businesses more than two billion dollars annually, damaging structures, disrupting operations, and putting lives at risk. At Storee Construction, we deliver a custom fire suppression system as part of our production upgrade services, protecting your facility while keeping you compliant with evolving fire safety standards.
With more than 50 years of experience, we design, install, and retrofit fire suppression solutions to meet the specific needs of manufacturing plants, warehouses, food processing centers, and other high-risk environments. Our turnkey approach ensures safety systems are integrated seamlessly into your operation—not treated as an afterthought.
NFPA-Compliant Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance
A fire suppression system is part of your facility’s active fire protection plan. Unlike basic fire extinguishers, these systems detect, respond to, and contain fires automatically, reducing risk, damage, and response time.
Types of fires in commercial buildings often start in food prep areas, electrical systems, or where flammable materials are stored. Storee Construction tailors every suppression solution to match the risk profile of your space and minimize downtime if a fire occurs.
What Type of Fire Sprinkler System Do You Need? (Wet vs. Dry)
Different hazards require different solutions. We install and service a wide range of fire suppression systems, including:
- Sprinkler Systems (Wet and Dry Pipe):
These are the most common systems for large commercial and industrial buildings. Wet pipe systems keep water pressurized and ready to release instantly. Dry pipe systems use pressurized air or nitrogen, ideal for unheated spaces where pipes could freeze. Pre-action systems add a second trigger step to avoid accidental water release in sensitive areas. - Wet Chemical Systems:
Often used in food manufacturing or kitchens, these systems release a chemical agent that cools and suppresses grease fires effectively. - Dry Chemical Systems:
Suitable for Class B and C fires, dry chemical suppression interrupts chemical reactions in flammable liquids or electrical equipment. - Clean Agent Systems:
Designed for environments with sensitive electronics or automation (like control rooms), these gaseous agents suppress fire without leaving residue. - Hybrid or Zoned Systems:
Facilities with diverse risk areas often benefit from multi-system setups, such as sprinklers in general areas and clean agents near controls.
Fire Sprinkler Systems for Warehouses and Manufacturing Plants
Commercial building fires are dangerous not just to property—but to people. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), buildings without sprinkler systems see three times as many firefighter injuries during emergencies compared to those that have suppression systems installed.
Current regulations often require sprinkler systems in newly constructed commercial buildings larger than 5,000 square feet, though local codes may impose stricter guidelines. If your facility is being upgraded or renovated, it’s often mandatory to install or update fire suppression systems to meet code—even if your building is older.
Storee Construction helps you navigate both national and local fire safety standards, ensuring your systems are installed properly and documented for compliance.
Fire Safety and Production Upgrades: A Unified Approach
When Storee integrates fire suppression into a facility upgrade or production change, we consider the big picture:
- What’s changing in your layout, equipment, or materials?
- Are fire risks increasing due to higher voltage, flammable storage, or thermal processes?
- Do you need zoning, shutoffs, or updated controls as part of the suppression design?
We align fire safety improvements with:
- Equipment installations
- Electrical system upgrades
- Overhead structures and catwalks
- Emergency stop systems
- OSHA/NFPA inspection preparation

FAQs About Fire Suppression Systems
Q: Is it worth installing sprinklers in older buildings?
Yes. Beyond being required for many renovations, sprinkler systems significantly reduce fire damage and improve safety—even in existing structures.
Q: What’s the best suppression system for electrical rooms or control panels?
Clean agent systems are ideal. They suppress fire without damaging equipment and leave no cleanup behind.
Q: Can Storee evaluate my current suppression system for compliance?
Absolutely. We offer facility inspections and safety audits to identify gaps, upgrade needs, and compliance risks.
Q: How are fire suppression systems maintained?
Most systems require regular inspection, testing, and documentation. Storee can coordinate with your safety team or preferred fire protection vendor to keep systems compliant.
Q: What if my production areas have different risk profiles?
We design multi-zoned suppression strategies so each space is protected according to its specific hazards.
