- Ensuring control valves are sealed and open
We leave no detail unchecked, giving you peace of mind that your property is fully protected.
How Often Do You Need Fire Sprinkler Testing?
Fire sprinkler systems require routine testing based on their components:
- Quarterly: Mechanical water flow alarm devices
- Semiannual: Electric vane and pressure-flow devices
- Annually: Antifreeze solution testing
While these are just examples of the bare minimum, Firetech Sprinkler Corp. can design a testing schedule that covers every component of your system so you can rest assured that the sprinklers will be able to deploy correctly when you need them.
We work with you to schedule system testing at the most convenient time, and our experienced technicians follow a streamlined process that will minimize the disruption of the trip testing.
Why Sprinkler System Testing Matters
Regular testing is required to comply with NFPA standards and local fire codes. More importantly, it ensures your sprinkler system will perform as designed during a fire. Testing helps:
-
Detect hidden issues before they become failures
-
Maintain code compliance and insurance requirements
-
Protect occupants, employees, and property assets
Our Testing Process
During your required inspections, our trained professionals thoroughly evaluate and test every part of your sprinkler system. We check:
-
Water flow and pressure levels
-
Alarm functionality
-
Valve and pump operation
-
Obstructions or corrosion in pipes
-
Performance of sprinkler heads
Each test is carefully documented so you have the records needed for AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) compliance and insurance audits.

Comprehensive Sprinkler System Testing & Maintenance
Our technicians are highly knowledgeable in the inspection and testing procedures required for all types of fire sprinkler systems. With years of field experience and continuous training, they ensure that every system component operates according to NFPA standards and local fire codes.
We provide complete testing and maintenance for:
-
Wet Pipe Systems – The most common type of sprinkler system, designed to deliver water immediately when a fire is detected. We test for leaks, pressure issues, and valve function to guarantee instant response.
-
Dry Pipe Systems – Used in unheated areas prone to freezing, these systems hold pressurized air or nitrogen until activated. Our team checks valves, air pressure, and system integrity to prevent delayed activation.
-
Standpipe Systems – Essential in multi-story buildings, standpipes provide water to hose connections. We test flow rates, pressure, and valve performance to ensure firefighter readiness.
-
Pre-Action Systems – Common in data centers and sensitive facilities, these systems require detection before water release. We test detection devices, control valves, and alarm functionality for maximum reliability.
-
Foam Systems – Designed to suppress flammable liquid fires, foam systems require precise proportioning and discharge testing. We inspect tanks, pumps, and foam concentrate levels to ensure compliance and safety.
-
Deluge Systems – Used in high-hazard areas, deluge systems release water through all open nozzles at once. We verify valve operation, alarms, and water supply to ensure immediate suppression capability.
Beyond sprinkler systems, we also inspect, test, and maintain critical supporting equipment, including:
-
Fire Pumps – Ensuring proper water supply and pressure during emergencies.
-
Jockey Pumps – Maintaining system pressure and reducing strain on the main fire pump.
-
Backflow Preventers – Protecting your potable water supply by preventing contamination from fire system water.
By offering testing for both sprinkler systems and auxiliary fire protection equipment, Firetech Sprinkler Corp. delivers complete life safety solutions tailored to your property.
Our technicians are also certified by the New England Water Works Association to test and repair backflow preventers. Other services include underground pipe flushing, hydrant flow testing, and hydrant flushing. Firetech’s technicians use tablet-based NFPA 25 inspection software.

Frequently Asked Questions
While technical inspections are best left to the professionals, you can perform a few checks on your own. You should wipe dust and debris from your sprinklers regularly and do a basic inspection of anything that might block your sprinklers’ water flow. Make sure your pipes are well-insulated and replace insulation where necessary. In-depth physical checks are a core part of the NFPA 25 testing schedule. You need to test your sprinklers four times a year, with additional biannual and annual tests and tags to accommodate your water flow, fire pumps, antifreeze, and alarm. Every five years, your sprinklers must be tested in extreme environments. Your dry sprinklers require additional tests every decade.What can I do to take care of my fire sprinklers?
