System Inspection FAQ


  • Why have our fire protection equipment inspected?

    For peace of mind! Preventative maintenance of your fire equipment not only ensures proper operation, but also prevents breakage. It provides homeowners and/or managers with a guarantee against financial losses, which may be significant in the event of a technical failure. 


    Knowing that proper maintenance is essential to the viability of your equipment, help preserve your investment and protect yourself against repair costs. The inspection will tell you if your system has any significant deficiencies that could prevent proper operation of your system, or will signal recommendations for compliance.

  • What is an annual inspection of a wet / DAR / dry pipe sprinkler system, according to NFPA-25?

    • Several visual checkpoints on the system (reading of gauges, fire department connections, hydraulic plate, etc.)
    • System trip test
    • Testing of control valves, reducing valves, water motor gong, main drain, jockey pump
    • Test of start, arrest, residual pressures, high/low pressures
    • Trip test delay/alarm reception of system
    • Test of alarm devices, control valves, water flow, pressure switches on the system and on the floors
    • Fast opening device test (accelerator), priming water level (dry pipe systems)
    • Draining the low points (dry pipe system)
    • Leak test of the backflow preventer
    • Flow test of the backflow preventer
    • Complete visual inspection of sprinklers

    NFPA-25 also requires monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, 3-year, 5-year audits, etc. Your municipal fire department or insurers may require additional visits. That depends on your type of facility and on the risk assessment that is related to the scope of your building.

  • What is an annual inspection of a fire alarm system in accordance with CAN / ULC-S536-04?

    It’s the testing of the control panel/annunciator and all the components connected to your fire panel (manual station, smoke detector, heat detector, duct detector, bell/horn, strobe, piezo, relay auxiliary, end-of-line resistor (RFL), isolator, etc.). It’s also the verification of the batteries by carrying out the load tests.
