Why Are the Maintenance and Inspection of Fire Sprinkler Systems Necessary? 

The National Fire Protection Association provides a comprehensive, integrated approach to fire code regulation and hazard management. Every building, process and service is affected by NFPA’s 275+ codes and standards. These codes are referenced by the BC Fire and the BC Building codes and based on this, you are required by law to have your fire sprinkler systems inspected regularly. A fire sprinkler system helps save lives and protects your business from facing any fire loss. You never know when a fire is going to break out to damage your property. Fire sprinkler systems save lives and property. That’s why proper maintenance of your fire sprinkler systems is crucial.

Winterize Your Fire Sprinkler System

Cold weather can cause your fire sprinkler system to cease to function or burst by freezing the water inside the pipes. To avoid this situation, you can add an antifreeze system and get your system inspected. You can also try to keep the cold air out which reduces the risk of freezing pipes.

 

When to Perform Testing and Maintenance?

There are guidelines provided by the fire and building codes on how and when to perform testing and maintenance of a fire sprinkler system. There are various components which may require regular checks. According to NFPA 25, the following inspection schedule should be followed:

• Weekly or monthly - Inspection of gauges in dry, pre-action and deluge systems must be done once a week. Wet pipe system gauges are inspected monthly.

• Quarterly – You must get the water flow alarm devices, along with the valve supervisory and hydraulic nameplates inspected once every three months.

• Annually – Inspect the hanger, pipes and fittings once a year.

• Every five years – An internal inspection of sprinkler piping is required once in every five years.
