Frequently Asked Questions
Can fire suppression lines be tested without disrupting building fire protection?
Yes. We sectionalize the system and maintain fire protection coverage for the majority of the building while testing isolated sections. Tracer gas testing can be conducted on drained sections without risk.
How often should underground fire mains be inspected for leaks?
NFPA 25 recommends annual flow testing and 5-year internal inspections. Additional leak detection surveys are recommended if water consumption increases or if surface indicators appear above buried mains.
