Fire Pump Service, Be Prepared For A Fire Outbreak
Your fire pumps play a crucial role in controlling or extinguishing fires and ensuring safe evacuation routes.

In California, buildings over four stories tall are required to have these systems. Our fire pump service offers expert fire pump inspections, fire pump repair, and maintenance of your fire pump systems, with detailed documentation and 24/7 on-call support. We also provide additional fire protection solutions. Ensure your fire pumps and sprinklers are always prepared with our reliable services.
An approved method of fire pump testing is measuring its RPM, GPM, and PSI. This test is performed with three different flow rates of 50%, 100%, and 150% of its rated capacity.
Excessive leaking, corrosion build up, and low pressure is a common problem. Which is why annual inspections and regular maintenance is required to keep it functioning properly.
