What is Included?
Visual Inspection
Our fitter would visually check all components of the sprinkler system. This includes sprinkler heads, pipes, valves, and gauges. They would look for signs of damage, corrosion, leaks, or obstructions that could impair the system's functionality.
Sprinkler Heads
We would inspect each sprinkler head to make sure it's free of paint, dust, or other obstructions that could prevent it from operating. Our fitter would also ensure that the sprinkler heads are the correct type for their location and are positioned correctly.
Alarm and Signal Test
Our fitter would test the fire alarms and signal devices connected to the sprinkler system to ensure they are operational and properly communicating with the system.
Control Valves
All control valves should be in the open position and appropriately sealed or locked. Ourfitter would check for any signs of tampering or incorrect settings.
Water Flow Test
We may conduct water flow tests to ensure that the system discharges water at the correct rate and pressure. This might involve opening test valves to simulate the activation of the system.
Pressure Gauges
Our fitter would inspect the pressure gauges to ensure they are showing the correct pressure for the system and are functioning properly.
Hangers and Seismic Braces
Ensuring that the support structures for the pipes are secure and intact.
Fire Pump
Our fitter would inspect it to ensure it's in good working condition. This includes checking for proper pressure and flow rate, and ensuring the pump engages properly.
Antifreeze and Backflow prevention
If applicable, we would test antifreeze systems for appropriate concentration levels and inspect backflow preventers.
Documentation and Reporting
After the inspection, our fitter would document their findings, noting any deficiencies or required repairs. This report is critical for compliance with local fire codes and insurance requirements.
Recommendations and Scheduling repairs
If any issues are identified, our fitter will recommend appropriate repairs or adjustments and may schedule a follow-up to address these issues.
