Fire Sprinkler Inspection Services
Fire sprinkler systems require regular testing to stay compliant with New York City fire safety regulations, including 5-year hydrostatic pressure testing of standpipes and fire pump flow tests, coordinated with FDNY and performed to NFPA 13 and NFPA 25 standards.
Our team inspects and tests fire sprinkler systems, standpipes, and fire pumps for buildings across Queens, identifying any deficiencies and coordinating with FDNY where required.
A fire sprinkler system is only effective if it’s tested and maintained on schedule. We handle the inspection, documentation, and any necessary follow-up so your building’s system stays ready.
What Do Fire Sprinkler Inspections Cover?
Fire sprinkler inspections check the condition and function of the sprinkler system, including standpipes and fire pumps, following NFPA 13 and NFPA 25 standards. Depending on the system, this can include a 5-year hydrostatic pressure test of standpipes and a fire pump flow test, both of which may require FDNY witnessing.
Fire Sprinkler Inspections in Queens: Local Considerations
Long Island City’s former industrial and warehouse buildings, many of them converted to offices, studios, and residential lofts, often carry standpipe and sprinkler systems that were added or upgraded well after the building’s original construction.
At the other end of the range, the high-rise towers built in Hunters Point and Downtown Flushing in recent years were designed with modern fire safety systems from the start, so fire sprinkler inspections in Queens can involve very different equipment from one property to the next.
Certain tests require FDNY witnessing or coordination regardless of a building’s age or size, and our team schedules that coordination directly for the buildings we service throughout Queens.
