FAQ

  • 1. How do bushfire sprinkler systems work?

    Bushfire sprinkler systems create a water barrier around your home, roof, and surrounding property. This helps reduce the impact of radiant heat, ember attack, and flames during a fire. Our systems are custom-designed for Adelaide Hills and rural SA conditions.

  • 2. Do I need a water tank and pump for my system?

    Yes. A dedicated tank and fire-fighting pump ensure your sprinklers have the water volume and pressure needed during a bushfire. We assess your property and install the right tank and pump to keep your system reliable, even in extreme conditions.

  • 3. How much does a bushfire sprinkler system cost?

    Every property is different, so costs vary depending on the size of your home, land, and coverage required. At SABS, we pride ourselves on being an affordable alternative to major providers. Book a free on-site quote for accurate pricing.

  • 4. Will a sprinkler system guarantee my home won’t burn?

    No bushfire protection system can guarantee total protection in extreme bushfire conditions. However, having a professionally installed sprinkler system significantly increases your property’s chance of survival and provides valuable extra time for firefighters and homeowners.

  • 5. Do I need council approval to install a bushfire sprinkler system?

    In most cases, council approval is not required. If your installation involves larger tanks or significant structural changes, we’ll guide you through the process and let you know if approvals are needed.

  • 6. How do I maintain my bushfire sprinkler system?

    Maintenance is simple. We recommend regular testing before each fire season to ensure the pump, sprinklers, and tank are in working order. SABS provides seasonal maintenance services and can show you how to run your own checks.
