Mark Johnson Custom Homes Completes Fire Restoration
Assistant Chief Frank Blackley, of the Wilmington Fire Department, had this to say about MJCH: “We are extremely pleased Mark Johnson Custom Homes has taken the initiative to learn more about residential fire sprinklers and is willing to educate future homeowners. This makes our job much easier too, as we try to reduce community risks. We see having residential fire sprinklers installed in a home as comparable to ‘having a firefighter in your home 24/7′. Not only do fire sprinklers protect the home and its owner, they also protect our firefighters.”
New Hanover County, NC new home builder Mark Johnson Custom Homes has recently completed a fire restoration for a home in Marsh Landing Place in Wilmington, NC. We were selected based on our jobsite efficiencies and outstanding client relations. We enjoyed the chance to develop a relationship with the local Wilmington Fire Department and learn about the benefits of having a sprinkler system in your home.

The damage was not only extensive, but rendered the home unlivable for 90 days. Our team was successfully able to work with the insurance agency and the homeowner who lived across the country.
We would like to take this opportunity to explain the benefits of having a sprinkler system installed in your home, courtesy of the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition. For more information on each of the points below, click here!
- Installing both smoke alarms and a fire sprinkler system reduces the risk of death in a home fire by 82%, relative to having neither.
- Only the sprinkler closest to the fire will activate, spraying water directly on the fire.
Fire hoses, on average, use more than 8 1/2 times the water that sprinklers do to contain a fire.
- The likelihood that sprinklers will accidently discharge because of a manufacturing defect is extremely rare.
