  • How often should my Fire Protection equipment or systems be inspected?

    In our experience, fire protection equipment should be inspected at least once a year for all systems. Certain systems, such as kitchen hood suppression systems and clean agent systems, are required to be tested semi-annually. Fire extinguishers are tagged annually, but sometimes have additional inspection requirements based on where they are installed. Different types of systems may also require more frequent inspections based on what they are protecting and insurance carrier requirements.

  • What is Microbiologically Induced Corrosion (MIC)?

    MIC is corrosion influenced by biological organisms or microbes. They attack most alloy products, including black, stainless, and galvanized steel, copper, and ductile iron. An MIC attack on the inside of the pipe can occur as early as a few years after installation and is characterized by nodules that form on the wet surfaces of the pipe in either a few places or all over. Under those nodules, corrosion is taking place, creating a pit that can, over time, create a leak in the pressurized piping. There are methods to overcome MIC corrosion that include a mitigation system along with inspection ports in the piping to monitor the effectiveness of the mitigation process. Whether you need assistance with MIC attacks or fire protection in Colorado Springs, CO, contact HydroPro Fire Sprinkler Company today!
  • I have a Fire Sprinkler system that needs an inspection. What's involved?

    Depending on the kind of system and the occupancy it protects, the inspection consists of a set of criteria established by the National Fire Protection Association (N.F.P.A.) that includes visual inspection, water supply testing, and alarm attachment testing. This will be outlined in a report format that will define any deficiencies and what should be done to correct them, if necessary. Our company's emphasis is on the installation, service, and repair of fire sprinkler systems, fire pumps, standpipe systems, and similar water-based systems.

Plans of the system will be generated, and a fire permit will be applied for. After a rough inspection of the piping and the installation is finished, a final inspection and test of the completed system is performed for the fire authority. The system will then be turned over to the owner after training. If you are ready for fire protection in Colorado Springs, CO, call us to get started!

    The primary objective of any fire sprinkler system is to control or extinguish a fire in its early stages while alerting occupants. These systems are designed first and foremost to save lives by extending critical escape time so everyone can exit safely. This added safety is crucial, as according to Gitnux, U.S. fire departments respond to an average of 46,700 home electrical fires each year. Secondarily, sprinklers protect property from extensive damage. Above all, their ability to save human lives and pets makes residential sprinkler requirements essential for effective fire protection in Colorado Springs, CO.
