Fire Hydrants
Fire Sprinklers
Fire Sprinklers
In case of a fire, fire hydrants are one of the most useful tools firefighters will have to fight it. However, in many cases firefighters arrive at the scene of a fire only to find that the hydrant is not working. To prevent this from happening to you, hydrants should be inspected at least annually. We test the pressure of the fire hydrant and service all of the moving parts so that firefighters will have no trouble using it to protect you in case of an emergency.

Fire Sprinklers
Sprinklers are one of the most effective ways of protecting your buildings from fire. As the first line of defense, they have the biggest impact on the damage fires cause. To be sure that your sprinklers are prepared for an emergency they should be inspected often. We test the response time and pressure of your sprinklers to make sure they are well within code.
Fire Pumps
Backflow Testing
Backflow Testing
Fire pumps are responsible for providing water pressure to your sprinkler system. A failing fire pump can compromise your entire system, so it is recommended to have it inspected at least annually. We make sure that there is enough pressure to supply your entire fire system in case of an emergency.

Backflow Testing
Backflow is a plumbing issue that occurs when water flows through your system in the opposite direction than was intended. This is a serious health risk that could potentially contaminate your drinking water, so it is important for backflow prevention systems to be inspected often.
