Our Commercial Fire Sprinkler Inspection Services
A well-maintained and functional fire sprinkler system is crucial to your business’s overall fire safety plan. Their
instant response to high temperatures helps suppress flames and provides vital time for evacuation and emergency
services. Neglecting this fire suppression measure, even briefly, can endanger lives and expose your business to
serious compliance issues, including financial penalties and loss of trust.
Fire sprinkler systems help limit the spread of flames and provide crucial time for evacuation and emergency services
by responding immediately to high temperatures. That’s why keeping these systems in optimal condition is paramount.
With NFS as your fire sprinkler inspection company, you can be confident that your sprinkler system conforms to the
highest safety standards of your industry. From hospitals and educational facilities to industrial complexes and
commercial warehouses, our inspection services ensure your property’s sprinkler systems are ready to protect lives and
assets.
Compliance Assurance
In fire safety, inspections are more than an assurance that your fire sprinkler and other fire safety features are
operational. These formal evaluations by certified professionals ensure compliance with National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) fire codes. NFPA 25 is a standard that specifies the inspection and testing procedures for existing
water-based fire protection systems — like fire sprinklers. It also outlines the required inspection and testing
frequency.
Our fire sprinkler inspections follow these guidelines, as well as Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements
and local fire codes, to keep your fire sprinkler system fully compliant with your industry.
Fire Sprinkler System Inspection
Fire sprinkler inspections are crucial to maintaining the reliability and effectiveness of your fire protection
system. These regular, systematic checks consist of visual inspections, ensuring each component works properly. Our
assessments also allow us to identify issues like obstructions, leaks, or corrosion, and then work with you to repair
these issues as quickly as possible.
At NFS, we follow strict NFPA guidelines that set standards for the frequency of inspections, including:
- Monthly inspections for control valves and gauges.
- Quarterly inspections for alarm devices and fire department connections.
- Annual inspections for all sprinkler system components, including sprinkler heads, pipes, valves, alarms, backflow
preventers, and fire pumps.
- Inspections every five years for internal pipework.
Fire Sprinkler Testing
The functional portion of your system inspection is called fire sprinkler testing. This is when our team physically
checks that your system is operational and functioning properly.
The NFPA also has guidelines for fire sprinkler testing frequency:
- Quarterly tests for waterflow alarm devices and supervisory signal devices.
- Annual tests for the main drain, fire pump flow, system valves, and backflow preventer.
- Tests every five years for internal piping, valves, and fire sprinkler gauges.
Documentation and Reporting
After each thorough evaluation or test, our certified inspectors document their findings. These accurate records
demonstrate that your facility meets NFPA 25 and fully complies with all local code requirements. We maintain detailed
inspection reports, compliance documentation, and maintenance logs on our digital portal, allowing you to access any
necessary reports when needed.
