Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding Fire Protection Requirements

What fire protection systems are required for my business in Houston?

Requirements vary based on your building size, occupancy type, and business activities. Generally, commercial buildings need fire alarms, sprinkler systems, portable extinguishers, and emergency lighting. Houston follows the International Fire Code with local amendments—we can conduct a site assessment to determine your specific requirements.

How often do fire protection systems need inspection in Houston?

Make sure your fire protection systems are checked regularly. Sprinklers should be inspected every quarter and once a year. Fire alarms have to be tested yearly. Fire extinguishers need a quick look each month and maintenance once a year. Backflow preventers should be tested annually. Kitchen suppression systems need to be inspected every six months. If you don’t keep up with this, you could get fined or your business could be shut down.

What's the difference between NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, and NFPA 13D sprinkler systems?

NFPA 13 is for commercial buildings with complete coverage. NFPA 13R is for residential buildings up to four stories, protecting escape routes but not necessarily all areas. NFPA 13D covers one- and two-family dwellings with limited water supply requirements. Each standard has different design criteria, component requirements, and water supply needs.

Can I install my own fire protection systems to save money?

No. Fire protection systems must be installed by licensed professionals. DIY installations violate building codes, void insurance coverage, and create life-threatening risks. Improperly installed systems often fail when needed most, and the liability of an ineffective system far outweighs any upfront savings.

Fire Protection Costs & Maintenance

How much do commercial fire protection systems cost in Houston?

For mid-sized commercial buildings, basic fire alarm systems range from $1 to $3 per square foot. Sprinkler systems typically cost $2–$7 per square foot. Costs vary based on building complexity, system type, and existing infrastructure. We provide detailed, no-obligation quotes after site evaluation.

What's included in your fire protection maintenance programs?

Our maintenance programs include scheduled inspections, testing, preventative maintenance, priority emergency service, documentation for compliance, and discounted repair services. We customize programs based on your specific systems and requirements, ensuring everything stays functional and up to code.

How long does a typical fire protection inspection take?

Inspecting a fire extinguisher usually takes around 30 minutes. Checking fire alarms can take 2 to 4 hours, depending on how big the system is. Sprinkler inspections can be anywhere from 2 to 8 hours, depending on how complex everything is. We’ll work with your schedule so we don’t get in the way of your business.

Do I need to replace my entire fire sprinkler system if there's a leak or problem?

Not usually. Most issues can be repaired by replacing specific components rather than the entire system. However, systems over 25 years old or with extensive corrosion may require more comprehensive upgrades. We always provide repair options before recommending replacement.

Emergency & Specialized Services

What should I do if my fire sprinkler system activates accidentally?

First, evacuate if there’s a fire. If it’s a false alarm, locate the system’s main control valve and close it to stop water flow. Call us immediately for emergency service at 713-473-0008. Don’t disable fire alarm systems as they must remain functional. We offer 24/7 emergency response.

How quickly can you respond to emergency service calls?

We respond to sprinkler leaks and system failures in Houston within 2–4 hours. For other repairs, we schedule service within 24–48 hours. Getting your fire protection systems back up is our main focus.

Do you work with insurance companies after fire suppression system activation?

Yes. We document the activation cause, system performance, and necessary repairs. We provide detailed reports for insurance claims and can communicate directly with adjusters. Our documentation helps expedite claims processing and system restoration after an incident.

Can you design fire protection systems for special hazards or unique building layouts?

Absolutely. We design custom fire protection solutions for manufacturing facilities, server rooms, historical buildings, high-rises, and other specialized environments. Our engineers consider your specific hazards, building constraints, and operational requirements to create effective protection systems.

Compliance & Documentation

What documentation do I need to maintain for fire inspections by the fire marshal?

Keep records of all system work: installs, changes, checks, tests, and fixes. Include dates, what was done, results, and the service company’s info. We keep both digital and paper copies of all work done to help you prep for official checks.

How do I know if my building's fire protection is compliant with current codes?

Building codes are always changing, but old systems might be okay under older rules. We can check your systems to find any issues and suggest fixes. This way, you’re ready for fire marshal inspections and your safety is assured.

What happens if my fire protection systems fail inspection?

If we identify deficiencies during inspection, we document them and provide repair recommendations. Critical deficiencies require immediate correction, while minor issues may have 30–90 days for resolution. We can typically make many repairs during the same visit to minimize downtime and additional service calls.
