By
If a fire broke out in your building, would you be able to depend on your commercial sprinkler system to activate and control the fire? In order to ensure that your sprinkler system works as it should, it is essential to enlist professional commercial sprinkler system maintenance. There are several things that should be done in order to increase its dependability and effectiveness. As the trusted name in commercial sprinkler maintenance for Columbus and the surrounding areas, we are here to help with: 

Code. Ohio and national code standards require preventive maintenance. Sign up for our preventive maintenance program to certify these requirements are met. Life safety systems are only as strong as their weakest parts. Having preventive commercial sprinkler maintenance performed will help ensure these systems work properly when they are needed. 
 
Inspection. Sprinkler systems must to be inspected and tested by a qualified commercial sprinkler maintenance contractor like Hard Fire each year. This annual process includes inspection and maintenance of the sprinkler heads, riser pipe, valves, fire pump and more. If your sprinkler system includes an anti-freeze loop or dry pipe valve, then these also need to be checked annually. 
 
Updates. It is important to enlist commercial sprinkler maintenance any time there is a switch in tenants. We can evaluate your system to make sure it is adequately designed to meet the needs of your new tenant. Sprinkler systems are not one-size-fits-all. For example, a building originally built as office space will require different commercial sprinkler maintenance for storage. 
 
Repair. It is also important to contact your sprinkler contractor any time a sprinkler head is damaged. Damaged sprinklers have a tendency to not activate when they need to, or activate at an improper time, which can cause a large amount of water damage.
