What Makes Get a Reno Different
Most contractors focus on basic wet pipe systems or dry pipe sprinkler systems - straightforward pipe systems that don't require the specialized knowledge pre action sprinklers demand.
Get a Reno is built differently:
-
Specialized Pre Action System Design – Pre action systems require specialized installation by certified technicians. Our engineers produce technical specifications that include hydraulic calculations and system designs tailored to your facility's exact risk profile, whether you need single interlock, double interlock, or non-interlock configurations.
-
Advanced BIM Technology – We use Building Information Modeling for precise system planning and coordination, ensuring every sprinkler head, pre action valve, and detection device is optimally placed before installation begins. This reduces costly field changes and ensures your system piping integrates cleanly with existing building infrastructure.
-
Integrated Fire Detection and Sprinkler Coordination – Pre action systems require both fire detection and sprinkler head activation to discharge water. Get a Reno designs and installs the complete integrated package - smoke detection devices, heat sensors, control panels, solenoids, and sprinkler piping - as a single coordinated system rather than piecing together separate vendors.
-
Testing That Exceeds Standards – Our commissioning protocols go beyond minimum requirements, including full-flow trip tests of every pre action valve and verification of water delivery times to the most remote fire sprinkler head within the NFPA-mandated 60-second window for double interlock systems.
How Our Pre Action Sprinkler Process Works
-
Detailed Facility Assessment and Design Consultation Every project begins with a thorough evaluation of your facility's hazard classification, asset sensitivity, environmental conditions (including freezing temperatures), and water supply capacity. We consult with the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), which reviews and approves system plans, to ensure your design meets all local code requirements before a single pipe is cut. Contractors should clearly outline their scope of services in proposals, and Get a Reno provides a detailed written scope, timeline, and clear written warranty with every project.
-
Professional Installation with Coordinated Fire Detection Integration Our certified crews install the complete system - sprinkler piping, pre action valves, pressurized air or pressurized nitrogen supervisory charges, smoke detection and heat detection devices, manual release stations, and control panels. Water is held back by an electrically operated valve until the system's two step process confirms a genuine fire event. Installation must comply with industry standards and local regulations, and Get a Reno ensures every component meets or exceeds those requirements.
-
Thorough Testing and Commissioning Before handoff, we perform comprehensive system testing including full-flow trip tests, air pressure supervisory verification, detection device functionality checks, and main drain tests. You receive complete documentation for NFPA compliance and a system that's ready to protect your facility from day one. Asking for references from similar past projects is essential when selecting a contractor - and Get a Reno gladly provides them.

Ideal Facilities for Pre Action Sprinkler Systems
Pre action sprinkler systems are a great option for any environment where accidental discharge of water would cause damage rivaling the fire itself. Common applications include:
-
Data Centers and Server Rooms – Computer rooms filled with sensitive electronic equipment cannot tolerate even minor water exposure. Pre action systems provide an added layer of protection through their two step process - an electrically operated valve holds water back until heat, smoke, or flame detection activates the system, and individual sprinkler heads must still open by heat before water is released only to the affected area.
-
Museums and Archives – Irreplaceable paintings, manuscripts, and historical artifacts demand fire protection with reduced risk of accidental water discharge. Pre action systems are used in environments prone to severe water damage, making them ideal for cultural institutions.
-
Clean Rooms and Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – These controlled environments are sensitive to both moisture and contamination. A false discharge could destroy product batches worth millions. Pre action systems prevent accidental water discharge, protecting both inventory and process integrity.
-
Cold Storage Warehouses and Freezer Environments – Standard wet pipe systems risk frozen and burst pipes in freezing temperatures. Pre action systems are suitable for cold storage facilities because the system piping contains only pressurized air or nitrogen until activation is triggered, which helps prevent water from sitting in the pipes and freezing. Unlike dry pipe valve systems that release water when a single sprinkler head fuses, pre action systems add the security of requiring detection activation first.
-
Historic Buildings – Original interiors that would suffer irreversible damage from water exposure benefit from the combination of fire protection and water damage prevention that pre action systems deliver.
Pre action systems are suitable for water sensitive environments of every type. After activation, water fills the piping and the system operates like wet pipe systems - but that critical first barrier of detection-based activation prevents water from ever entering the pipes without a confirmed fire event.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can Get a Reno respond to emergency calls? Get a Reno maintains 24/7 emergency response capability. Call (929) 294-7360 any time - day or night. Emergency service reliability can significantly impact response times during critical situations, and we prioritize getting your pre action system back to full operation as quickly as possible.
What makes pre action systems more reliable than standard sprinklers? Pre action fire sprinkler systems use a two step process that standard fire sprinkler systems don't. First, a supplemental detection system (smoke detection, heat detection, or flame detection) must trigger the pre action valve. Then, individual sprinkler heads must be activated by heat before they release water. This combination virtually eliminates accidental water discharge from mechanical damage, corrosion leaks, or open sprinkler head incidents that can occur in wet pipe systems.
How often do pre action systems need professional maintenance? Regular maintenance includes scheduled inspections and testing of components at multiple intervals: weekly or monthly control valve inspections, quarterly supervisory signal tests, annual valve trip tests, and internal pipe inspections for corrosion every five years. Full-flow trip tests of the pre action valve are required every three years. Get a Reno's maintenance programs cover all of these requirements and ensure full NFPA compliance documentation.
Are Get a Reno's technicians properly certified for complex systems? Yes. NICET certification is important for technicians in water-based fire protection systems, and our team holds the appropriate certifications. Get a Reno also maintains valid state and local fire protection contractor licensing, carries full insurance and bonding, and networking with trade associations helps us stay current with specialized expertise and evolving code requirements. Finding a reliable contractor for a pre action sprinkler system requires diligence, and we welcome you to verify our credentials.
What's included in your maintenance and inspection programs? Our comprehensive programs include all inspection, testing, and maintenance activities required by NFPA standards - from weekly visual valve checks and monthly air pressure gauge readings to annual internal valve inspections, full-flow trip tests every three years, and sprinkler head sampling. We also provide complete documentation for compliance audits, insurance reviews, and AHJ inspections. Where nitrogen inerting is used, systems that demonstrate two consecutive clean internal inspections may qualify for extended inspection intervals, reducing long-term maintenance costs.
