houston Fire Sprinkler systems
Fire sprinklers are the first defense in fighting a fire. A fully maintained and functioning fire sprinkler system in Houston is an essential part of an office space’s overall fire safety plan. Our team’s years of industry experience allows us to offer design, installation, preventative maintenance, and emergency services.
Our fire sprinkler inspection services in Houston will give you the security of knowing that your fire systems are prepared to protect the lives of occupants, protect property, and pass local fire protection requirements. An inspection and maintenance schedule for sprinklers are required on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual, annual, and five-year basis. We can work with you to keep this schedule up to date.
Also, through regular inspection and maintenance of your Houston fire sprinkler system, we can extend the life of the system, improve its reliability and reduce the overall cost of maintenance. Our design staff uses 3D CAD design programs which enable us to map out a fire sprinkler design that works with your layout. We also offer nitrogen corrosion control for fire sprinkler piping. This application is suitable for all types of facilities including data centers, hospitals, stadiums, warehouses or any other sites where a wet, dry, or pre-action system exists.
In addition to fire sprinkler system installation, inspection, and maintenance services in Houston, our experienced technicians can handle fire protection-related emergencies of any kind and magnitude. We offer 24-hour, 7-day per week service. There is no “small emergency” when it comes to our clients’ needs and expectations.
