Fire Sprinkler Systems
Fire sprinkler systems should be inspected at least annually to comply with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and local fire codes. However, additional inspections may be required based on your property type and system complexity. Regular inspections help:
Ensure proper functionality in case of a fire emergency.
Identify leaks, corrosion, or obstructions in the pipes.
Confirm that sprinkler heads are not blocked or damaged.
Maintain compliance with insurance and regulatory requirements.
We provide comprehensive inspections and routine maintenance to keep your system up to code and fully operational.
No, fire sprinkler systems should never be turned off unless they are undergoing professional maintenance or repair. Disabling a fire sprinkler system:
Leaves your property vulnerable to fire damage.
Can result in violations of fire codes and safety regulations.
May void insurance policies, leading to financial losses in case of fire-related incidents.
If you need to perform maintenance, our team can temporarily disable your system safely and restore it immediately after service.
Fire Alarms & Suppression
The type of fire alarm system you need depends on your property size, occupancy type, and fire safety requirements. We offer:
Conventional Fire Alarm Systems - Best suited for small buildings, these systems divide the property into zones for fire detection.
Addressable Fire Alarm Systems - Ideal for larger properties, allowing for pinpoint detection of specific fire locations.
Wireless Fire Alarm Systems - Used in buildings where hardwiring is difficult or impractical.
Voice Evacuation Systems - Often used in commercial spaces, providing verbal evacuation instructions during emergencies.
We provide customized fire alarm system design and installation, ensuring compliance with NFPA and local fire codes.
Fire suppression systems differ from sprinkler systems in that they don’t use water to extinguish fires. Instead, they use specialized fire-suppressing agents, making them ideal for areas where water could cause damage, such as:
Data centers and server rooms (gas-based suppression systems).
Commercial kitchens (wet chemical suppression systems).
Manufacturing plants and industrial sites (foam-based suppression systems).
We design and install fire suppression systems tailored to your industry-specific needs.
Fire Extinguishers & Safety Equipment
Fire extinguishers should be:
Visually inspected monthly to check for damage, leaks, or missing safety pins.
Professionally serviced annually to verify they are pressurized and functional.
Recharged or replaced after any use, even if only partially discharged.
Failure to properly maintain fire extinguishers can result in failure during an emergency, so we offer routine inspections, testing, and refilling services.
Yes! Emergency lighting is critical for safe evacuation during power failures, and we offer:
Installation of new emergency lighting systems.
Routine inspections to check battery backup functionality.
Bulb and battery replacements as needed.
Emergency lighting must be tested monthly and undergo a full-function test annually per NFPA 101 Life Safety Code.
Testing & Compliance
Backflow occurs when contaminated water reverses direction in your pipes, potentially mixing with your clean water supply. Backflow testing is essential to:
Prevent contamination of potable water.
Ensure compliance with state and municipal plumbing codes.
Protect against health hazards caused by pollutants entering drinking water.
Many localities require annual backflow testing, and we are certified to perform these tests and ensure compliance.
