Fire Alarm Inspections With Integrity
Have you ever wondered what happens during a fire alarm inspection? You may be unsure who will be affected or what the process is. Integrity Fire can answer all your questions and leave you confident your building is thoroughly assessed.
Fire Alarm Inspection & Testing
A fire alarm inspection comprehensively assesses a building’s fire alarm system to prevent potential danger during a fire, so it’s vital to have your system inspected regularly for proper functioning. A malfunctioning system could result in harm to both individuals and assets.
Our inspectors conduct meticulous examinations and testing of every component to ensure that fire alarm systems are functioning appropriately. Such components include the control panel, smoke detectors, pull stations, dialers, and alarm devices. We’ll check for any damage, wear and tear, or obstructions that could prevent the system from functioning correctly. The inspector will also test the system to ensure it communicates with the monitoring station, fire control panel, and sounds alarms as intended.
Fire Alarm System Compliance
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) set guidelines that cater extensively to proper installations while emphasizing their efficacy on all levels of safety procedures, including NFPA 72 Standard for Fire Alarm and Signaling Systems guidance notes. Our company trains our inspectors thoroughly on the codes and standards that dictate how to inspect your system properly, including those of local jurisdictions and your insurance requirements. Regular maintenance checks on fire alarms are essential due to their critical role in preventing loss or injuries resulting from such hazards.
