Fire hydrants are essential fire safety features that are usually found in the premises of large, commercial establishments. They are installed primarily to assist fire fighters during active firefighting situations. Fire trucks have a limited water supply. Fire hydrants will aid in providing a continuous water supply from the mains minimizing the risk of running out of water.
Fire hydrants are usually installed below ground level. The possibility of clogging up, getting damaged, and being inaccessible is high. This could turn a manageable crisis into a tragedy. ASCO Fire can help in identifying fire hydrant maintenance needs with our reliable fire hydrant flow testing services.
What is Fire Hydrant Flow Testing?
A fire hydrant flow test is the process of precisely assessing the competencies of the water mains. The hydrants are tested, maintained, and visually inspected to ensure that they passed the requirements of the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA).
Is the water dispensed according to the right pressure? Is there an adequate volume of water from the system? After the tests, our experts will make a report to answer these questions based on the results. The report should also indicate whether there is a leakage or any other damage that needs to be repaired.
