Stay Compliant With Regular Sprinkler Inspections

NYC requires routine inspections: monthly owner checks, annual testing by a licensed contractor, and a comprehensive 5-year hydrostatic test. We manage timelines, notifications, and witnessing so your building stays compliant without hassle.

Annual & Five-Year Testing Procedures

Annual service confirms valve operation and alarm response; five-year tests pressurize standpipe/sprinkler piping to prove integrity. We prep systems, isolate as needed, and provide complete certification packages after successful tests.

Deficiency Found? Fix It Fast.

If a valve won’t hold, a line leaks, or a head is damaged, we isolate the area, make repairs, and return for re-inspection. Our goal is simple: restore protection and certification without delay.

  • Can our staff do the monthly checks?

    Yes, building staff can perform visual checks; annual/5-year tests require a licensed contractor.

  • How long does an annual test take?

    Most systems finish within a few hours; complex sites may require phased testing.

  • Do tenants need notification?

    We coordinate notices for alarm testing and any temporary impairment of protection.

  • What happens if we fail the 5-year test?

    We repair deficiencies—often same day—and schedule a witnessed retest.

  • Is color coding really required?

    Yes, Local Law 58/09 requires clear identification of sprinkler/standpipe piping.
