These codes and regulations are also enforced by National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and most cities/states/jurisdictions abide by them as well.

A fire suppression system is designed to extinguish or control a fire at your place of business. When finding a company to provide your semi-annual inspection, not only should they be licensed, bonded and insured but also thoroughly checking all components are intact and functioning. If we find any issues during an inspection, we always communicate them directly to the owner/person in charge to come up with a resolution to keep your business protected. Contact us today if you have questions about this or would like to set up an appointment!

There are only a couple of ways to activate a fire suppression system if there is a grease fire, one of those being if the fusible links separate. As you can see, the link on the left is heavily corroded with grease which would most likely not allow it to work for its intended purpose if there is a fire. Evaluating and replacing fusible links by a licensed and certified professional is one of many components to the semi-annual inspections we provide. It's also one of the many important reasons an inspection for your fire suppression system should be happening every 6 months. If you have questions about inspections or would like to set up an appointment for one, give us a call or send us a message. We look forward to providing you fire protection services you can trust!

Inspecting and cleaning the nozzles is just one of many things on our list during a semi-annual inspection. The nozzle in the before picture is completely clogged and in the event of a grease fire, would not have allowed the fire suppressant chemical to flow through to the fire. It's important you have a licensed and certified technician conducting your fire suppression system semi-annual inspections. Contact us today to set up an appointment!
