Fire Sprinkler Inspections
There are quite a few sprinkler system types available today. How often you have them inspected depends on the specific system type you have installed, as well as your local AHJ requirements. Please call us to find out the required inspection frequency for your particular system.
We offer:
Emergency Service: We’re on call to help you diagnose and repair system problems.
Quarterly Inspections: Depending on your sprinkler system, NFPA or your local AHJ may require quarterly sprinkler service.
Annual Inspections: Every year, our technicians will inspect your pipe fittings, sprinkler heads, valves, supervisory alarm devices, information signage, and other fire sprinkler devices as required by NFPA 25.
Our inspectors not only protect your lives and assets, but also keep you in compliance with local fire codes— bringing peace of mind and saving you money in the long run.

The fire alarms and fire sprinklers in your building need to be inspected and tested in accordance with NFPA guidelines and local codes. With different regulations for inspection and testing frequencies for each type of system, it can be hard to keep track of when your systems need service. Inspection intervals will vary based on the AHJ (authority having jurisdiction) and the type of system you have.
Fire Sprinkler Inspection Schedules
-
Inspections of fire protection systems include visual checks to make sure the system looks to be in the proper condition. Testing of systems involves more in-depth physical checks that your systems are functioning correctly.
-
Inspections and testing of fire sprinkler systems may be performed weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, and annually.
WEEKLY - Every week, inspections of gauges in dry, pre-action, and deluge sprinkler systems should be performed.
MONTHLY - Inspections of gauges in wet pipe sprinkler systems should occur monthly.
QUARTERLY - Inspections of fire department connections, water flow alarm devices, valve supervisory alarm devices, supervisory signal devices, control valves, and hydraulic nameplates should be performed every quarter.
SEMI-ANNUALLY - Semi-annually, vane, and pressure switch-type devices must be tested.
ANNUALLY - Annually, hangar and seismic bracing, pipes and fittings, information signage, and spare sprinklers should be inspected. Every year, a full test and tagging and physical checks on all parts of the fire sprinkler system should be performed, including:
Water flow test
Fire pump test
Antifreeze concentration test (if applicable)
Alarm tests
Trip tests of dry, deluge, and pre-action valves
EVERY 3 YEARS - If you have a dry or pre-action sprinkler system, a full-flow dry system trip must be completed every 3 years.
EVERY 5 YEARS - Every 5 years, you need to complete an internal inspection of your sprinkler piping, devices, and valves. Every 5 years, the gauges need to be calibrated or replaced. Sprinklers exposed to extra high temperatures or harsh environments should be tested or replaced every 5 years.
AFTER 15 YEARS, THEN EVERY 10 YEARS - Dry sprinklers should be tested or replaced after 15 years and then every 10 years after that.
AFTER 20 YEARS, THEN EVERY 10 YEARS - Fast-response sprinklers should be tested after 20 years and then every 10 years after that.
AFTER 50 YEARS, THEN EVERY 10 YEARS - Standard response sprinklers should be tested after 50 years, then every 10 years after that.
