Fire Sprinkler Inspection & Testing in Texas

The National Fire Protection Association recommends that you have your fire sprinkler inspected at least four times a year by a knowledgeable and experienced fire sprinkler professional. However, fire sprinkler inspection is so important that the Houston, Texas fire code recommends monthly inspection.

Fire Sprinkler Testing in Texas

The Houston fire code mandates that you have your fire sprinkler system tested once a year. During a fire sprinkler test from Kauffman Co., one of our certified trained technicians will test the alarm reaction and the flow of water through your system. We also test each control valve by exercising it through its full range of motion, then returning it to its normal position by checking for valve seizure, broken seams, leakage or any other condition that might impair the valve’s proper operation. The valves will then be reset and relocked where appropriate.

At the end of the test, Kauffman Co. will document the results and maintain the records in case they need to be provided to a fire code official.

Other Reasons for Fire Sprinkler Inspection

In addition to routine monthly checkups, your fire sprinkler system should be inspected every time there is a change in your building’s environment. Your fire sprinkler system is designed to meet very specific conditions, and when those conditions change, it is to make sure the sprinkler will still be able to do its job. You should plan to have a professional fire sprinkler inspection if you have:

• Changed or added a backflow preventer or water meter
• Changed the occupancy or use of your building
• Made any remodels to your building, such as adding walls, partitions, or additions
• Experienced a change in water supplies (for water conservation or any other reasons)
