At Koetter Fire Texas, protecting people and property is our top priority. Our fire sprinkler systems are engineered to respond quickly and effectively, giving you confidence that your facility is safeguarded against fire emergencies. Depending on your environment, we design, install, and maintain a variety of sprinkler solutions:

  • Wet Pipe Sprinkler Systems – Always filled with water for immediate response when heat activates a sprinkler head.
  • Dry Pipe Sprinkler Systems – Filled with pressurized air until triggered, making them ideal for unheated or freezing conditions.
  • Pre-action Systems – Add an extra layer of security in sensitive areas by requiring a separate detection event before releasing water.
  • Deluge Systems – Equipped with open sprinkler heads to provide rapid flooding in high-hazard environments.

With Koetter Fire Texas, you can trust that every system is installed and serviced by experienced professionals who follow all local, state, and NFPA code requirements. We deliver reliable fire protection and security solutions that keep your business safe and compliant.
