Residential sprinklers
What does the service consist of?
The level and scope of maintenance in a fire sprinkler service vary depending on the system type.
A typical service includes the following safety checks:
- Pressure and flow of the water supply
- Linked alarms are tested
- Control valves, flow-switches, test valves and associated equipment are checked where appropriate
- Sprinkler heads and pipework – checked to ensure their functionality is not impeded
The sprinkler system should be periodically inspected at least once a year by a third party.
Commercial sprinklers
Wet pipe, dry pipe, preaction, and deluge fire sprinkler systems each defend against fires in slightly different ways.
What does the service consist of?
- Annual service visits which can last up to 1-2 hours
- We will perform a visual inspection of all sprinkler heads
- Conduct a flow test
- Take a pressure reading of the installation
- Test the alarm system
- Test the pump (if applicable)
- Inspect the condition of the tank (if applicable)
- Full service report (if the system fails, with recommendations)
We would suggest this should be done no less than once every 6 months.
