NFPA 25 Compliance

Sprinkler Inspections That Protect Your Property and Your People

A fire sprinkler system is the most effective fire protection a commercial building has, and the most heavily regulated. NFPA 25 sets the inspection, testing, and maintenance schedule for water-based fire protection systems, with requirements ranging from monthly gauge checks to five-year internal pipe inspections.

Sutton Life Safety inspects wet and dry sprinkler systems for commercial properties across Northwest Indiana, verifying performance, documenting compliance, and flagging issues before they become expensive failures or failed inspections.

Our commercial fire sprinkler inspections follow NFPA 25 for every wet, dry, preaction, and deluge system. We check control valves, gauges, alarm devices, and water-flow tests, then document findings in a report your AHJ and insurer will accept. Sutton Life Safety keeps fire sprinkler inspections across Northwest Indiana on schedule so small issues never become failed inspections.

FAQs

Fire Sprinkler Inspection Questions, Answered

A complete visual inspection of sprinkler heads, piping, hangers, and signage, plus a main drain test, gauge verification, and operation of control valves. Findings and results go into a report formatted for your AHJ and insurance carrier.

Yes. We inspect both wet and dry systems, including air pressure checks, low point drains, and the valve and trim components specific to dry systems.

Every five years, NFPA 25 requires an internal examination of piping and valves to catch corrosion and obstructions hiding inside the system, problems no external inspection can see.

No. We coordinate with your monitoring station before testing flow devices, operate valves in a controlled sequence, and verify everything is restored to service before we leave.
