Certified Fire Sprinkler Inspection, Testing & Maintenance

Fire sprinkler systems are one of the most reliable automatic fire suppression systems, designed to control or extinguish fires before they spread. When heat activates a sprinkler head, pressurized water flows immediately—helping protect occupants and minimize property damage.

Our licensed fire sprinkler inspectors deliver certified inspections across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland for commercial, residential, and industrial buildings.

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.
