A leak has been noted in the piping
The leak that has been noted in the piping could have a negative impact on the life of the pipe and could cause more serious
damage if not repaired, such as property damage and flooding. This should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent further
problems. Ref 5.2.2

Plugs or caps missing
Plugs and caps must be in place to prevent debris from entering the pipe .
Plugs or caps that are missing may allow birds and hornets to build nests, and other debris to enter the FDC, this may lead to
failure of the FDC in case of a fire. Remove any obstruction and replace caps or plugs. Regular inspections can be performed by
the building owner or representative. Ref. 13.7.1
Repair or replace.

A deficiency such as painted, loaded or leaking would be noted. A routine inspection is suggested and any damaged or leaking
heads be reported and repaired. The environment that the heads are located may require more frequent inspections.
Any remodeling may require sprinklers to be added or relocated consult your contractor or designer for any changes that may
need to be done.
