Fire Sprinkler Maintenance & Service
Keeping your fire sprinkler system in good working order is essential to protect the people on your premises and property. To ensure your fire sprinkler performs correctly in the event of an emergency, a qualified professional must examine and test your system regularly. Depending on your property’s size, a thorough fire sprinkler inspection can take anywhere from one hour to a full-day.
Your fire sprinkler system can significantly limit the damage a fire can cause and stop the flames from spreading throughout your building and neighbouring properties. A fire sprinkler system is a legal requirement for many buildings, and it can also lower your insurance premiums by demonstrating your responsibility when it comes to protecting your property.
Langara Mechanical are qualified and licensed professionals who can inspect and repair your fire sprinkler system to ensure it meets safety codes and protects your property.
Common Fire Sprinkler Faults
Fire sprinkler systems can suffer from various issues, such as low water pressure or malfunctioning pressure gauges. Fire sprinkler systems are also susceptible to wear and tear, and you must replace worn parts to ensure your sprinkler responds efficiently should a fire occur.
A drop in water pressure, or blocked outlets, could prevent water from reaching a fire, allowing it to spread and increasing damage. If a sprinkler system fails to register a fire, the cost and consequences could be catastrophic. At Langara Mechanical, we can identify and repair faults before they become a problem.
Inspection and Maintenance
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has minimum standards for inspecting and maintaining water-based fire protection systems, published in NFPA25. Following an inspection, there are specific requirements to fulfill should there be any faults or potential issues. Aside from replacing errant parts, there are also reporting guidelines you must follow to remain compliant with regulations.
Periodic inspection of wet, dry, deluge, and preaction fire sprinkler systems is essential and often a legal requirement. Systems can require weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly inspections to ensure proper working order.
Valves and gauges require a weekly inspection to ensure the water and airflow are sufficient to respond in a fire. During these inspections, Langara Mechanical also ensures valves are in the correct position to operate properly.
Why Fire Sprinkler System Inspection and Maintenance is Essential
Fires spread incredibly rapidly. A delay of a few minutes, or even seconds, can exponentially increase death or damage in an enclosed space. Even if the building is unoccupied at the time of a fire, every second can make a difference. Fire damage can close a business for significant periods, leading to loss of revenue.
Routine inspection and maintenance of your fire sprinkler system can reduce interruption to your business and lower the cost of repairs due to fire damage. Your insurance company may require proof that you have a fire sprinkler system and regular inspections to ensure its operational efficiency.
It’s best to partner with a reputable company that can inspect and maintain your fire sprinkler system. A reliable business becomes familiar with your system and can identify any potential problems before they occur.
