The history of sprinklers goes back over a century and residential sprinklers almost 40 years in comparison seat belts have only been installed in cars for 30-40 years and baby car seats even less. As far as the cost i agree it does add up. When it come to letting a homeowner choose between safety or cost the cash is always the winner it requires someone with the best interest of safety to make that decision. If forensics have not found so many well done people in houses with smoke detectors without batteries this conversation may not be taking place the reason for the sprinklers is an addition to a house provides more square fottage for disaster.

They require me to put them in my house of 60 years old . The public water system does not supply the correct pressure and the cost of adding the equipment is now a third of the coast of my remodel . I do believe this is a bad thing , and As I surch the web , I have found all the studies are done by and supported by sprinkler companies and I do believe we are not getting a good revieew . And they have not been around long enough to know if they are saving lives . Feel free to contact me any time . i do believe this ordenece is a bad thing for people who own a house and want to remodel it . They require me to put them in my house of 60 years old .
