There are many signs of Microbiologically Influences Corrosion (MIC) including pin hole leaks, fire sprinkler system water that is black in color and/or smells like rotten eggs, and water that stains the concrete with rust during flow tests. Any obstructions on the system’s pipe wall, including tubercles and/or mineral deposits are also key indicators of Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) in a fire sprinkler system.
