Everything that goes into fire sprinkler inspections can feel overwhelming, so we make it easy to be sure you have everything you need. Our technicians follow a systematic approach to conduct fire sprinkler visual inspections, ensuring compliance with NFPA 25 guidelines and that your people and your building are safe.
We Get To Know Your Building:
Technicians study design and configuration of the fire sprinkler system for everything they need to know about your building. We categorize and inspect components such as sprinkler heads, pipe hangers, control valves, alarms, gauges, and water supplies. This ensures that everything will be inspected and documented for when the local fire jurisdiction requests it.
Sprinkler Head Inspection:
Our technicians begin the visual inspection by meticulously examining each sprinkler head. They carefully check for physical damage, including dents, corrosion, or signs of leakage. They ensure that sprinkler heads are unobstructed, free from paint, dust, or debris, which may impede their proper functioning. Correct orientation and clearances are also verified.
Pipe Hanger and Support Inspection:
All pipe hangers and supports are inspected to ensure they are securely fastened and provide adequate support for the piping system. We closely examine for signs of damage, corrosion, or deterioration, and verify that proper spacing exists between the pipes and adjacent structures to prevent any friction or interference.
Control Valve Inspection:
Control valves control the flow of water to the fire sprinkler system, including main control valves, alarm valves, and check valves. Inspection ensures that these valves are correctly positioned and not obstructed or leaking. Proper labeling of valves for easy identification is also confirmed.
Gauge and Alarm Device Inspection:
Pressure gauges are examined to ensure accurate functionality and proper indication of pressure levels. They conduct a thorough inspection of alarm devices such as flow switches and pressure switches, verifying their integrity and appropriate connections to the fire alarm system.
Water Supply Inspection:
Our technicians meticulously inspect the water supply for the fire sprinkler system, including fire department connections, water tanks, backflows, and pumps. They scrutinize for any visible signs of damage, leakage, or obstructions that may compromise the reliability of the water supply.
Fire Sprinkler Inspection Documentation:
Throughout the inspection, our technicians diligently document their observations and findings. Any deficiencies, damages, or potential issues requiring further attention or corrective action are carefully noted in a comprehensive report, which summarizes the inspection and recommendations for remedial actions.
