Firebreak FAQ's
What is Phos-Chek?
Phos-Chek is a specially formulated fire retardant used for over 40 years by the U.S. Forest Service. Phos-Chek is colorless; safe around plants, animals and people; and it will not stain or damage your home.
How do Firebreak products compare to other services on the market?
Phos-Chek has a longer efficacy period than many other retardants. One treatment may last an entire wildfire season, or until it is washed off by water or rainfall. Gel-based retardants, on the other hand, are only effective if applied immediately before contact with fire.
What will a Firebreak Spray System cost?
Prices start under $1000 for a portable system, which covers up to 500 sq. feet. Our installed systems can protect a single home or entire community and the cost depends on the size of the area covered. Contact info@firebreaksystems.com or 1-866-421-3473 for an estimate.
