Fire Sprinkler Inspection Services

Certified Fire Sprinkler Inspection, Testing & Maintenance

Fire sprinkler inspection services are essential to ensure automatic fire suppression systems remain fully operational and compliant with NFPA 25 and the BC Fire Code. When heat activates a sprinkler head, pressurized water is released immediately to help protect occupants and minimize property damage.

Otis Fire Protection provides certified sprinkler system ITM services (Inspection, Testing & Maintenance) for commercial, residential, and industrial properties throughout Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Our licensed fire sprinkler inspectors deliver NFPA 25 compliance inspections, complete documentation, and dependable service to keep your building code-compliant and inspection-ready.

Types of Fire Sprinkler Systems We Inspect

Wet Pipe Sprinkler Systems

Wet pipe sprinkler systems contain pressurized water within the piping. When a sprinkler head activates, water is discharged immediately. These systems are commonly used in heated environments where freezing is not a concern and require routine control valve inspection and pressure gauge checks.

Dry Pipe Sprinkler Systems

Dry pipe systems contain pressurized air instead of water. When a sprinkler head activates, the air is released, allowing water to enter the pipes. These systems require scheduled trip testing, air leakage testing, and careful monitoring during winter conditions.

Pre-Action Sprinkler Systems

Pre-action systems require two detection events before water is released. They are commonly installed in sensitive environments such as data centres, museums, libraries, and archival facilities where accidental discharge must be avoided.

Deluge Sprinkler Systems

Deluge Sprinkler Systems use open sprinkler heads that discharge water simultaneously when a fire detection system is activated. These systems are designed for high-hazard environments and require detailed waterflow testing and mechanical alarm testing.

Fire sprinkler inspections must follow defined inspection frequency schedules outlined in NFPA 25. These fire sprinkler inspection requirements ensure system reliability throughout the building's lifecycle.
