Comprehensive Fire Protection System Inspections:
Routine NFPA fire inspections are vital for verifying the effectiveness of fire suppression systems. Rotaflow’s team of Red Seal-certified technicians conducts thorough evaluations to ensure that fire protection components remain in optimal condition and meet compliance requirements.
Fire Sprinkler System Inspection
Fire sprinklers are the backbone of any water-based fire suppression system. Regular inspections ensure they are in top working order. Rotaflow follows NFPA 25 standards for fire sprinkler inspections, covering:
- Visual inspections of sprinkler heads, pipes, and fittings.
- Functional testing to ensure proper water discharge and coverage.
- Obstruction investigations to identify and remove blockages in the system.
- Corrosion assessments to detect and address pipe degradation.
Fire Pump Inspection & Performance Testing
Fire pumps play a crucial role in maintaining adequate water pressure for fire suppression. Rotaflow ensures fire pumps operate efficiently through:
- Weekly and annual flow testing to confirm pump reliability.
- Alignment and vibration analysis to prevent mechanical failures.
- Electrical and diesel-driven pump inspections to ensure seamless operation during emergencies.
- Fire pump controller testing to verify automatic activation functions.
Fire Hydrant Inspection & Testing
Fire hydrants must be tested annually to ensure they provide adequate water supply during fire emergencies. Rotaflow’s inspection services include:
- Hydrant flushing and flow testing to measure water pressure and discharge rates.
- Leak detection and gasket inspections to prevent operational failures.
- Lubrication and valve maintenance to keep hydrants in optimal working condition.
- Winterization services to protect hydrants from freezing temperatures.
Fire Alarm System Testing & Certification
An effective fire alarm system ensures early detection of fires, reducing response time and potential damage. Rotaflow provides fire alarm inspection and testing to verify system reliability, including:
- Smoke and heat detector calibration to confirm proper sensitivity levels.
- Battery load testing and backup power verification for uninterrupted alarm operation.
- Emergency lighting and exit sign inspections to ensure safe egress routes.
- Audibility and intelligibility assessments for alarm sound clarity.
NFPA 25 Compliance & Testing Procedures:
Rotaflow strictly follows NFPA 25 standards for the inspection, testing, and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems. This ensures that all components, including sprinklers, standpipes, fire pumps, and hydrants, remain fully functional and compliant.
Annual Fire System Testing & Reporting
Regular testing is required to maintain compliance and ensure fire systems function as expected. Rotaflow provides:
- Hydrostatic testing of pipes and valves to check for leaks or pressure loss.
- Main drain testing to evaluate water supply flow rates.
- Trip testing for dry and pre-action sprinkler systems to confirm activation times.
- Alarm signal transmission verification for fire alarm systems.
- Comprehensive NFPA 25-compliant inspection reports for regulatory submissions.
