Normally, I return home from working with a client or on the River House looking forward to some peace and tranquility. This afternoon, however, I was greeted by the sound of no less than 9, count them 9, smoke detector sirens blaring and an urgent voice warning me of fire. I immediately checked all parts of the house for any signs of combustion and quickly determined that this was a false alarm. While in the basement, I grabbed my hearing protectors to keep my head from exploding. All attempts to silence the system proved futile. I then decided I would use a step ladder to climb up and remove each detector from its mount until I located the source of the problem. By the grace of God, the very first unit I chose to remove was the guilty party. I knew this would be the case when water started dousing my head as I removed the detector from its ceiling fixture. I took the detector apart but was not able to repair the water damage which was causing the unit to permanently signal a fire alert to all the other units in the house. I ordered a new unit and moved onto the next problem; where was the water coming from. I determined that our guest bathroom shower was the source. The main control valve and shower head wand penetrations had not been properly sealed allowing a very tiny amount of water to seep down the back of the wall and collect in the mounting box for the fire detector on the floor below. Over time, enough water trickled into the detector to cause the damage.
