Whether you’re a homeowner or a business owner, preserving the safety of those on your property should always be a top priority, which is why emergency sprinkler systems, fire alarms, and smoke detectors are vital. If your fire protection system involves sprinklers, your property and everyone’s safety are at risk if you don’t hire a fire inspection service to examine them regularly. Here’s what you need to know about the inspection process.

What Are They?

A fire sprinkler inspection involves examining all the components of your sprinkler systems to ensure they’re functioning as they should. Every few months, a professional should check your system’s gauges, alarms, valves, hydraulics, connections, and pressure for function and wear. At least once a year, they should also check the sprinkler heads, the inside and outside of the system’s pipes, and the quality of water coming through them. A thorough fire inspection service will also check that there are spare sprinkler heads and tools to change them on-site for convenience. If there are any issues detected at an inspection, they will be noted in a detailed report, and repairs should be made immediately so you remain compliant with legal codes.

Why Are They Done?

Even if it hasn’t been used in a while, the system can encounter problems due to outside factors, such as pest damage. Without these inspections, problems like a busted pipe or blocked sprinkler heads wouldn’t be noticed until an emergency arises and the system is needed. Sprinklers are for emergencies, and if they malfunction, the people in the building will be in danger. Plus, without a fire inspection, you’re at risk of violating legal codes, potentially resulting in criminal charges, hefty fines, and lawsuits. Finally, if a fire starts, an inefficient or malfunctioning system means more of your property will be damaged, interrupting business for longer and costing you more to repair.
