Fire Sprinkler Systems Service
Regular inspection of your building’s sprinkler
system is a must today. More and more court cases are
ruling against building owners for improper system
maintenance and faulty sprinkler systems. Don’t let it
happen to you.
Building officials, fire departments and insurance
underwriters are cracking down and enforcing code
required inspections of automatic sprinkler systems.
The best way to avoid any conflict with these
officials is to have a service contract that satisfies
their requirements. Not only do we design and install
fire sprinkler systems, we provide quarterly inspections
and annual testing as required by NFPA 25.
We can provide you with the required inspections,
tests and documentation. You can rest easy knowing that
your sprinkler system is up to date and conforms to the
latest codes and regulations.
Our services include:
- Inspection of sprinklers to ensure that they are
in working order and not damaged or obstructed.
- Inspection of piping and hangers, including
seismic bracing.
- Gauge check on all equipment to ensure they are
working properly.
- Inspection of wet pipe systems to ensure they
will not freeze in colder months.
- Inspection of alarm valves to ensure they are
not damaged
- Reserve supply check on sprinklers and head
wrenches
- Required water flow tests.
- All devices tagged and a report generated for
your records.
- A copy of the inspection report outlining the
inspection results and any deficiencies.
- Scheduling of a licensed sprinkler fitter to
correct any deficiencies.
We provide 48 hour turnaround for inspection and
service calls.
