Fire Sprinkler Inspection & Testing in Bessemer City, NC

One of the most essential fire protection components in any commercial building is the fire sprinkler system. When operating correctly, it activates automatically to curtail the spread of fire and keep the building and its occupants safe.

Our company has over 35 years of fire safety experience and offers the services you need to keep your commercial property safe, protected, and code-compliant. Choose our team for quick service, competitive prices, and 24/7 emergency support.

Why Is Fire Sprinkler Inspection & Testing Important?

According to the NFPA, during a fire, a working fire sprinkler system can reduce civilian injuries by up to 32% and civilian deaths by up to 90%. It can also reduce property damage by up to 70%.

To make sure your system is ready when you need it, schedule routine fire sprinkler inspections and testing with a fire safety professional.

Here are a few reasons to schedule these inspections:

  • Correct operation: Routine testing and inspections ensure all components of your fire sprinkler system are working properly
  • Early issue detection: Our technicians can catch potential issues before they cause other components to fail.
  • Safety: Regular inspections help prevent injuries, deaths, and property damage.
  • Compliance and protection: They keep your property compliant with local fire and safety codes.

When to Schedule Fire Sprinkler Inspections & Testing

NFPA guidelines require that commercial properties receive fire sprinkler inspections at three different intervals.

  • Quarterly inspections that focus on gauges and supervisory devices while performing limited mechanical testing
  • Annual inspections that include visual inspection of all components and thorough mechanical testing
  • Five-year inspections that include internal inspections of piping and valves and testing of water flow, valve actuation, antifreeze systems, and more

The Risks of Failing to Schedule an Inspection

In addition to making your property less safe, failure to schedule fire sprinkler inspections and testing as required may result in fines and penalties from your local municipality, possible business closures, higher insurance rates, and greater chances of injuries or property damage if a fire does happen.

FAQs

Most sprinkler systems will last 10 to 20 years with proper inspections and maintenance, though specialized systems like nitrogen systems can last 60 years or longer.

Fire sprinklers typically require a large amount of heat to activate, and they’re not affected by things like cigarette smoke or candles. However, they can activate accidentally if one is struck with enough force, so it’s important to keep the area around your sprinkler heads free of obstructions.

No, typically only the sprinkler heads that are close to the fire will experience enough heat to activate.
