Commercial sprinkler inspection
Annual and quarterly sprinkler inspections, functional testing, deficiency reporting and clear documentation for fire marshals, authorities having jurisdiction and property records.
Quick answer
Most Colorado commercial properties with sprinkler systems need recurring inspection, testing and documentation. AO Backflow & Fire helps owners and property managers schedule annual and quarterly sprinkler inspections, document deficiencies and keep records ready for the fire marshal, AHJ or insurance review.
Many systems need annual inspection, and some items may need quarterly or other interval checks depending on the system and local requirements. AO can review the notice or last report and determine which inspection is due next.
Commonly called a five-year internal inspection, this service examines selected points inside sprinkler piping, valves and related components for corrosion, scale, foreign material or other conditions that could restrict water flow. AO confirms the required scope from the system type, prior records and locally adopted inspection requirements.
For applicable dry-pipe and preaction systems, three-year service can include a trip test that verifies valve operation and confirms water reaches the system test point. The exact test method depends on the system design, prior results and locally adopted requirements, so AO confirms what is due before testing.
Yes. AO sends advance reminders for recurring sprinkler inspections to the property contact on file, helping owners and managers plan access and schedule service before the due date. Keep AO updated when contacts or management companies change so the notice reaches the right person.
AO explains the deficiency, its likely urgency and the recommended corrective action so the property can plan repairs and maintain clear records.
