When are inspections of sprinkler systems required?

Inspections of sprinkler systems are typically required on a monthly basis to ensure that they are functioning properly and can effectively respond in the event of a fire. Regular monthly inspections help identify any potential issues such as leaks, maintenance needs, or other deficiencies that could compromise the system’s performance. This frequency is in line with national codes and standards that mandate proactive measures to ensure fire safety equipment is always in optimal condition.

By maintaining a monthly inspection schedule, facilities can catch problems early, thus ensuring that the sprinkler systems are reliable and effective when needed. This proactive maintenance is crucial for the safety of occupants and the protection of property within shelters and other buildings.
