Our services help ensure that the building and its contents are protected with a properly working sprinkler system.
What are Sprinkler System Inspections?
As an integral part of a fire protection plan, the sprinkler system should be inspected and repaired accordingly. The inspection process is varied according to the schedule. It can be done quarterly, semiannually, or annually. Some of the tasks are easy enough to let the in-house management team handle on their own. There are also modes of inspection that will require experts in order to generate the best performance overview of the sprinkler system.
The inspections will involve checking control valves and gauges, going-over the electrical parts including the alarm system, accessibility checks, and a thorough inspection of all visible components.
