Could You Be Saving Money With A Fire Protection Well In Your Home or Business?

Fire Protection Well Drilling & Installation Contractors

What is a fire protection well: Similar to most other residential wells, a fire protection well is created by drilling a large hole down into the earth, usually at least 4 inches in diamter, until an aquifer is located that contains enough water to supply a sprinkler system in the event of a fire. 

Why is it important: Insurance companies and state safety departments have begun to mandate fire protection wells as a method to safeguard buildings against the threat of fire. Rather than using an expensive cistern system, fire protection wells utilize a more cost effective high capacity water pumping system to lift groundwater from the well into the sprinkler system to put out fires. Fire protection wells can save general contractors and their customers thousands of dollars, as well as their buildings in the event of a fire. 

How our drilling contractors help: With over 35 years of experience drilling, installing, and repairing fire protection well systems we know what it takes to provide the best water wells in the industry. Let our fire protection experts review your system requirements and see if using a water well instead of a cistern could save you thousands on your next project  in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, or Wisconsin.

New Alternative Fire Protection Water Supply

May Save You Thousands

The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry amends codes such as the Minnesota State Building Code to help keep us safe. These changes often require the installation of a high capacity water supply system which traditionally took the form of a cistern. However, many newly constructed buildings may see significant cost savings when a water well is used as the primary water source for a new fire protection system instead of paying for the installation of a traditional and expensive cistern.
