Why Fire Sprinkler System Inspections & Testing Are Essential?
Fire sprinklers are crucial to any fire protection system, capable of controlling and extinguishing fires to protect occupants and property. Regular fire sprinkler system inspections and testing are crucial to ensure these systems function correctly and comply with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards and local codes. Inspections help identify potential issues before they become significant problems, ensuring your fire sprinkler system is always ready to perform when needed.

We inspect various types of fire sprinkler systems, including:
Dry Pipe
Dry pipe sprinkler systems use compressed air and dry chemicals or nitrogen to keep water out of the pipes until a fire is detected. They are commonly used in areas with freezing temperatures.
Foam
Foam sprinkler systems use specialized foam to suppress fires. They are often used in high-risk areas, such as chemical plants or aircraft hangars.
Wet Pipe
Wet pipe sprinkler systems have water constantly in the pipes and are activated by a fire detection device. They are the most common type of fire sprinkler system in buildings.
Deluge
Deluge sprinkler systems use an open pipe system where all the sprinkler heads are open and will discharge water once a fire is detected. They are typically used in high hazard areas, such as power plants or industrial facilities.
Pre-action
Pre-action sprinkler systems combine the features of both wet and dry pipe systems. The pipes are filled with air, and water is kept out until a fire detection device activates the system.
