Our Comprehensive Fire Sprinkler Inspection Services
Our team of certified technicians conducts thorough and systematic fire sprinkler inspections tailored to the unique needs of your commercial building. Here’s an overview of our inspection process:
- Visual Inspection: Our technicians start with a visual inspection of your fire sprinkler system. They check for any visible signs of damage, corrosion, leaks, or obstructions that could affect the system’s performance.
- Functional Testing: We conduct functional tests on individual sprinkler heads and control valves to ensure they operate as designed. This includes checking for proper water flow, valve operation, and alarm functionality.
- Hydraulic Calculations: We perform hydraulic calculations to confirm that the water supply can deliver adequate flow and pressure to all sprinklers in the system. This ensures the system’s effectiveness in controlling a fire.
- Alarm Testing: We verify that all alarm devices, including water flow alarms, tamper switches, and supervisory alarms, are functioning correctly. This helps ensure that you and the fire department are promptly notified in case of a fire.
- Inspection Documentation: Detailed records of the inspection are provided, including any issues identified and the corrective actions taken. This documentation is crucial for compliance and tracking the system’s maintenance history.
- Deficiency Correction: If any deficiencies are discovered during the inspection, our technicians will work with you to address them promptly. We provide recommendations for repairs or replacements to ensure your system remains in compliance and reliable.
Fire Sprinkler Inspection Frequencies
Monthly Inspections
- Control Valves: In many commercial and industrial settings, control valves that are part of the fire sprinkler system need to be inspected on a monthly basis. This inspection ensures that the valves are in their proper position and that there are no visible signs of damage or tampering.
- Alarm Devices: Monthly inspections may also involve checking alarm devices, such as water flow alarms and supervisory alarms, to ensure they are functional.
Quarterly Inspections:
- Gauges: Every three months, it is typically required to inspect the pressure gauges on the sprinkler system to ensure they are accurate and functioning correctly.
Semi-Annual Inspections:
- Alarm Devices: Semi-annual inspections often involve more comprehensive testing of alarm devices to ensure they are functioning properly.
- Spare Sprinklers: Inspecting spare sprinklers stored on-site is also a semi-annual requirement. These spare sprinklers should be in good condition and accessible if needed for replacements.
Annual Inspections:
- Main Sprinkler System Inspection: An annual inspection of the main sprinkler system is a crucial step. This involves a thorough examination of all system components, including pipes, fittings, sprinkler heads, and control valves. The inspection checks for any signs of corrosion, damage, or blockages that could affect the system’s performance.
- Hydraulic Calculations: Annual inspections may include verifying that the hydraulic calculations for the system are still accurate and that the water supply can provide the necessary flow and pressure.
5-Year Inspections:
- Internal Inspection: Every five years, a more comprehensive internal inspection of the system is required. This involves draining the system, removing sprinkler heads, and inspecting internal components for corrosion, buildup, or damage. This inspection ensures the longevity and reliability of the system.
- Pressure Testing: Some fire sprinkler systems require a 5-year hydrostatic test to check the integrity of the system’s pipe and components.
10-Year Inspections:
- Extended Internal Inspection: Every ten years, a more extensive internal inspection may be required. This can involve removing and inspecting additional components, such as piping, hangers, and other system elements.
We are committed to helping you maintain a safe and secure environment for your business and its occupants.
