Our Services
From mandated quarterly inspections to complex system repairs — we handle everything your water-based extinguishing system requires to stay certified and operational.
Comprehensive NFPA 25 and California Title 19 inspections at every required interval — quarterly, annual, and 5-year. Full written documentation and official certification tag issued upon passing.
Hydraulic flow tests, main drain tests, inspector's test valve verification, fire pump acceptance and annual testing, anti-freeze system testing, and backflow preventer certification.
Expert repair of all deficiencies identified during inspection. Sprinkler head replacement, pipe repair, valve service, control valve repair, and system modifications to bring your system up to code.
Often the most critical — and most overlooked — component of a water-based system. We perform all required ITM: weekly no-flow testing for diesel drivers, monthly no-flow testing for electric, and annual full-flow performance testing per NFPA 20. Routine ITM preserves pump reliability, catches developing issues before they become costly failures, and satisfies increasingly strict property insurance carrier requirements. A pump that underperforms in an emergency is a liability no report can fix.
Per NFPA and AHJ standards we perform all required inspections, testing and certification of Class I, II and III standpipe and hose systems — this includes remote hose outlet flow tests, individual Class I PRV hose valve flow testing for pressure setting verification, Class II fire hose pressure testing, FDC inspection, and other 5-year inspection items. Combination sprinkler/standpipe systems receive separate standpipe AES reports filed alongside fire sprinkler reports as required.
Property managers and building owners can gain confidence while reducing costs — by reviewing inspection reports, validating recent deficiency findings, evaluating fire safety protocols, and through proprietary organization of documentation our services better prepare your facilities to pass annual fire department inspections and requirements of insurance companies.

Client Reviews
"They found a deficiency in our fire sprinkler system during the annual inspection that two other companies missed over three years. The repair was done fast, documented perfectly, and our AHJ signed off without any more problems."
"Our building failed its fire inspection due to outdated documentation. Fire Protection Company came out within two days, performed the full NFPA 25 inspection, and had our certification filed before the deadline. Saved us significant fines."
"We manage 14 commercial properties and trust one company with all of them. The inspection reports are thorough, the technicians know their code cold, and they've never missed a scheduled appointment in four years."
Don't wait for your next fire inspection to discover a lapsed certification. Schedule your inspection today and get compliant — before your AHJ does it for you.
