Proper maintenance of your fire pumps and fire protection system is not just recommended—it’s essential. Neglecting maintenance can lead to system failures at critical moments, potentially turning a small fire into a devastating disaster. Regular inspections, testing, and timely repairs are vital to ensuring that your fire protection system is ready when you need it most.

Fire Pump Inspection & Testing Guidelines

To ensure your fire protection system operates effectively, follow these essential inspection and testing guidelines:

  • Weekly Testing: NFPA regulations require that fire pumps be tested for at least 30 minutes each week. This regular testing verifies that the system is functioning correctly and helps prevent unexpected failures.
  • Monthly Component Checks: Inspect all minor components, such as pressure gauges, valves, and packing, at least once a month—or every six months at a minimum—to detect wear and tear before it leads to significant issues.
  • Comprehensive Maintenance: In addition to regular testing, schedule more in-depth inspections and maintenance at least once a year. This should include checking the pump’s internal components, replacing worn parts, and ensuring that the system is fully operational.
