Our Sprinkler Services

5-Year Inspections

California law requires a comprehensive internal inspection of sprinkler systems every 5 years. This involves draining and inspecting pipe internals, obstruction analysis, and a full functional test. We complete this complex inspection in a timely and professional manner.

Annual Inspections

Required every year, our annual inspection covers all sprinkler heads, control valves, gauges, and alarm devices. We also perform quarterly inspections of control valves and water flow alarms as required by your specific system type.

Service & Repairs

Leaking heads, damaged pipes, corroded fittings, or failed components — our technicians diagnose and repair all types of sprinkler system problems. We also handle impairment monitoring and post-repair testing.

Why Regular Sprinkler Inspections Matter

A sprinkler system that hasn't been properly maintained may fail when you need it most — or cause costly water damage from an accidental discharge.

NFPA 25

The standard for inspection, testing, and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems. Required in California for all sprinkler-equipped buildings.

Annual Testing

Flow tests, alarm valve tests, and full device checks every year ensure your system will operate correctly in a real emergency.

5-Year Internal

Required every 5 years, this inspection looks for internal pipe obstruction and corrosion that could prevent proper water flow during a fire.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do commercial fire sprinkler systems need to be inspected?

California Title 19 and NFPA 25 require quarterly inspections of control valves and flow alarms, an annual physical inspection and test, and a comprehensive internal pipe inspection every 5 years.

What happens during a 5-year fire sprinkler inspection?

Our technicians flush the system, inspect internal piping for obstructions or corrosion, perform hydrostatic testing on standpipes, and recalibrate or replace gauges to ensure full Title 19 compliance.

Do you provide emergency fire sprinkler repairs?

Yes, our C-16 licensed technicians are available to repair leaking heads, damaged pipes, and malfunctioning valves to get your system back online and compliant quickly.

Who is responsible for fire sprinkler maintenance?

The building owner or designated property manager is legally responsible for ensuring all fire protection systems are inspected, tested, and maintained according to local and state fire codes.

Will a fire sprinkler inspection disrupt my business?

We strive to minimize disruption. While flow testing does involve water discharge (safely routed outside or to drains) and alarm testing will sound the bells temporarily, we coordinate with you to schedule tests at convenient times.
