Fire Sprinkler Inspections & Testing

According to the NFPA, fire sprinklers have been shown to reduce damage by up to 60% during fires in the typical commercial building, but they cannot be trusted to work properly if they are not inspected and serviced at least once a year. Guardian Fire Protection offers comprehensive fire sprinkler inspections and testing in Baltimore and surrounding areas.

We provide annual inspections for a full range of fire sprinklers, including wet, dry, deluge, and pre-action systems, keeping your building safe, protected, and code-compliant.

Annual Fire Sprinkler Inspections

For a fire sprinkler system to be reliable and ready to operate in an emergency, it needs to be inspected and tested by a fire safety professional every year. Guardian Fire Protection provides a comprehensive, multi-step inspection process that helps ensure your sprinkler system is code-compliant and ready when needed.

Our Fire Sprinkler Inspection Process

Our process includes but is not limited to:

• Visually inspecting for proper orientation, support, and clearance of sprinkler heads and system piping that are readily viewable and accessible from the floor
• Performing main drain tests to verify proper water volume and pressure
• Testing flow switches by flowing water from the inspector’s test connection
• Testing tamper switches by exercising the valve through the full range of motion and verifying that signals are received at the fire alarm control panel
• Checking fire department connections for proper caps and not obstructed
• Checking for proper signage on valves
• Inspecting spare head box for proper inventory of spare sprinkler heads and wrench
• Verifying that all valves are in the proper position and sealed or supervised
• Verifying signals are received at the central monitoring station if the system is monitored

How To Maintain Your Fire Sprinklers Between Appointments

Between your annual inspections, there are several steps that you and your staff can take to protect and maintain the fire sprinklers at your facility:

• Avoid painting the sprinkler heads
• Don’t hang anything from the sprinkler heads
• Don’t stack or store anything within 18 inches of the sprinkler heads
• Be cautious with equipment like forklifts when working near fire sprinklers
• Exterior examination of valves to ensure undamaged and in the open position 
• Inspection of the fire department connection to ensure unobstructed 
• Ensure gauges are undamaged and showing normal water & air pressure
• Visually inspect your sprinkler heads monthly for damage and contacting your fire protection specialist if any is found
