How often is a fire sprinkler inspection required by law?+
NFPA 25 sets minimum inspection intervals — many components require quarterly or monthly checks, and a full system inspection is required at least annually. Local fire departments enforce these requirements and may inspect a property's records during a routine fire and life-safety inspection.
What happens during a sprinkler inspection visit?+
A technician walks the property checking that sprinkler heads are unobstructed and undamaged, control valves are in the correct (usually open) position and are sealed or supervised, gauges show normal pressure, and the system's main drain and alarm test correctly. Any deficiencies are documented in a report.
Why did my sprinkler inspection fail?+
The most common reasons are obstructed or painted-over sprinkler heads, stock or furniture stored too close to a sprinkler head, a closed or unsealed control valve, or a missing inspection tag from a prior service. Most of these are quick to correct once identified.
