Why Inspect and Test Your Sprinklers?
Like all fire protection equipment recommended by experts, modern sprinkler systems are built using advanced technology. Because of their vital role in protecting lives and property, these systems must be regularly inspected and maintained by certified professionals.
In this article, Guard-X explains why it's essential to thoroughly inspect and test your sprinkler system.
Annual Inspection: A Safety Requirement
Regularly checking your sprinkler system ensures that no components are blocked or damaged. At Guard-X, we recommend a professional annual inspection. This thorough evaluation guarantees that your system is fully operational, reliable, and safe in case of fire.
Our certified technicians examine each component carefully and perform any necessary repairs. The inspection includes:
- System draining
- Inspection of main components
- Testing of sprinkler-connected alarms
- Checking sprinkler heads and control valves
- Testing test drains
- Issuing a detailed inspection report and compliance certificate based on current standards
Routine Maintenance: Prevent Failures and Winter Risks
Regular maintenance—especially during winter—prevents critical issues such as freezing in auxiliary drains. Key actions include:
- Monthly check of alarms not connected to a central station
- Bi-monthly testing of monitoring devices and water flow indicators
- Inspection of electric valves
- Semi-annual testing of supervisory switches and head control devices
- Monitoring of air and water pressure in dry-pipe systems
- Inspection of unsupervised control valves
