Fire Pump Testing, Inspection & Repair
Every sprinkler head and standpipe in the building depends on the pump delivering its rated flow. We test it on the NFPA 25 cycle — weekly churn, annual full-flow, and the controller.
Electric or diesel, the fire pump is the heart of every high-demand system in the building. We run them on the NFPA 25 cycle, trend the curves year over year, and catch the slow degradation a churn test won't show.

Common Questions
Fire Pumps — questions we get asked.
How often does a fire pump need to be tested?
A weekly or monthly no-flow churn test depending on the pump type and driver, plus an annual full-flow performance test measuring output at churn, rated and peak flow. Diesel-driven pumps carry additional requirements around the driver and fuel.
What is an annual flow test actually measuring?
Whether the pump still produces the pressure and flow it was rated for. Pumps degrade quietly — the churn test proves it starts, but only a full-flow test proves it still performs.
Does the controller need attention too?
Yes, and it is routinely the neglected half. Transfer switches, alarms and supervisory signals all get tested — a pump that starts but cannot signal that it started leaves the building blind.
Do you handle the backflow preventer on the same visit?
Yes. The backflow assembly usually sits on the same supply, carries its own annual certification, and it is more efficient to test both while the system is down.
We work on what's already in your riser room
No rip-and-replace pitch on the first visit. We hold current manuals and parts references for every line above — when a system genuinely can't be maintained any longer, we'll show you why before we quote a replacement.
