WHY CHECK AND TEST YOUR SPRINKLER SYSTEMS?
Why check your sprinkler system? Guard-X Protection incendie explains the importance of annual inspections and regular maintenance to ensure reliable, compliant fire protection in Greater Montreal.
Modern sprinkler systems are engineered using advanced technology and play a vital role in safeguarding people and property. To ensure they operate reliably when needed most, they must be inspected and maintained regularly by trained professionals.
Annual Inspection
A yearly inspection is essential to confirm that your system:
- Is free of blockages or damage
- Functions properly to activate in case of fire
- Complies with current fire protection standards
At Guard-X, we recommend a professional inspection once a year. Our certified technicians perform a comprehensive evaluation, which includes:
- System drainage
- Inspection of all components
- Verification of alarms connected to the sprinkler system
- Examination of sprinkler heads and control valves
- Valve functionality testing
- Delivery of a detailed inspection report and compliance certificate

To keep your sprinkler system operating at peak performance — especially during winter — scheduled maintenance is required. Key tasks include:
- Checking unsupervised control valves
- Monitoring air and water pressure in dry systems

- Inspecting electrically operated valves
- Semi-annual checks of supervisory switches and valve monitoring devices
