Fire Sprinkler Systems
Fire Sprinkler Systems Services in Sandy, UT
Official Fire Systems provides professional fire sprinkler system services throughout Sandy, UT. Sprinkler systems are one of the most effective ways to contain and control fires in their early stages, and their proper installation, maintenance, and testing are mandated by fire codes and building regulations. We offer complete fire sprinkler system solutions for commercial, industrial, and residential properties, including design, installation, hydrostatic testing, repair, and routine inspections.
Fire Sprinkler Installation and System Design
Installing a fire sprinkler system begins with an engineered design tailored to the unique characteristics of the property. Official Fire Systems develops system layouts based on hazard classifications, occupancy types, and structural considerations in accordance with NFPA 13, the standard for the installation of sprinkler systems.
Our team evaluates ceiling heights, spacing limitations, hydraulic demand, and water supply availability. For new construction or system retrofits, we work closely with architects, general contractors, and project managers to deliver code-compliant designs that pass plan review and inspection.
Once design plans are approved, we proceed with the installation phase. This includes the placement of sprinkler heads, piping, risers, valves, and flow switches. All components are installed per local building codes and coordinated with other fire protection systems on-site. Our installations support wet systems, dry systems, pre-action systems, and deluge systems depending on the building’s risk profile and environmental conditions.
Hydrostatic Testing and Acceptance Procedures
Before a new fire sprinkler system is activated, it must undergo hydrostatic testing to verify system integrity and identify any leaks or pressure issues. Official Fire Systems performs hydrostatic pressure tests in compliance with NFPA 13 and local code requirements.
We isolate each zone of the sprinkler system and apply pressurized water to confirm that piping and joints are secure and can withstand operating conditions. The system must hold pressure for a specified duration without a drop, and we document results for submission to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
In addition to hydrostatic testing, we also verify valve functionality, flow switch operation, alarm activation, and coverage areas. Upon passing all inspections, we issue final documentation and assist with AHJ approvals and occupancy permit requirements.
Routine Maintenance and Service for Sprinkler Systems
Fire sprinkler systems must be maintained to perform reliably in an emergency. Over time, components may degrade due to corrosion, freezing, mechanical damage, or changes in building use. Official Fire Systems offers scheduled maintenance services throughout Sandy, UT to ensure sprinkler systems remain fully operational and code-compliant.
Our service includes visual inspections of sprinkler heads, piping, and fittings, along with testing of control valves, backflow preventers, and alarm interfaces. We check for proper signage, verify that valves are in the open position, and confirm that access to system components is unobstructed.
Maintenance also includes flushing low-point drains, checking air pressure (in dry systems), inspecting water flow alarms, and replacing damaged or recalled heads. All findings are documented for your records and provided to the local fire authority upon request.
Fire Sprinkler System Repairs and Emergency Response
When a sprinkler system malfunctions, fast and professional repair is crucial. Leaks, corroded pipes, frozen lines, and faulty valves can compromise a system’s ability to operate when needed. Official Fire Systems provides repair services throughout Sandy, UT to restore your fire sprinkler system to working order.
Our technicians respond to service calls involving damaged components, water pressure issues, false activations, and accidental discharges. We isolate the issue, perform necessary repairs using manufacturer-approved parts, and re-test the affected zone to verify function. In the event of emergency service after hours or on weekends, our team is equipped to respond quickly and minimize disruption.
We also handle sprinkler system modifications and relocations that may be needed due to tenant improvements, layout changes, or code updates. These alterations are designed and executed with the same attention to detail as new installations and include proper permitting and final inspection.
