Fire Suppression System

Is your Kirkwood business protected by a functioning fire suppression system?

For commercial and residential buildings all around St. Louis, MO, having a working fire sprinkler system installed is the single most effective means of fighting fires. According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) statistics, damages to manufacturing facilities, stores, offices, and healthcare facilities with a working fire sprinkler system installed were 60% lower than damages to building with no fire sprinkler system! Make sure your building, employees, customers, assets, and valuables are safe and secure by installing a fire sprinkler system in your office or government building.

Since fire sprinkler systems need to be in working order at all times, they need to be inspected annually to ensure that they will operate properly during a fire emergency. During a fire sprinkler system test, physical checks are performed on all the parts of your fire sprinkler system. These checks include water flow tests, fire pump tests, alarm tests, and trip tests of dry pipe, deluge, and pre-action valves.

In addition to annual fire sprinkler system inspections, you must also carry out quarterly flow tests. Written records of all quarterly fire sprinkler system inspections must be maintained in accordance with NFPA 25.

If properly maintained and inspected, a fire sprinkler system can provide your St. Louis, MO building with highly effective fire sprinkler protection for decades.
