Commercial Water Testing

NFPA 14 STANDPIPE FLOW TESTS FOR COMMERCIAL
BUILDERS AND SPRINKLER CONTRACTORS

You wil be redirected to FLOW: Standpipe Flow Testing upon booking request,

Although fire sprinklers have proven to be extremely reliable fire protection systems over the years, fire sprinkler testing is a critical function that must be performed in or to keep these systems operational.  Unlike most mechanical systems, sprinklers are primarily idle and problems can go undetected without the proper fire sprinkler testing and Program Based ITM plan. 

“We are in this business to bridge the gap between Fire Marshalls and Contractors to pass important commercial building standpipe tests on demand. We work with their tight schedules to make this a seamless and easy process for everyone involved!”

Virginia State Building Code calls for required testing of newly installed water systems in commercial buildings, specifically standpipe water testing.

These tests are administered by the local Fire Marshalls, and must be passed by a proper water pump system or fire truck pumper system.

The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) administers the process for development of the state building and fire codes; however, the authority to enforce the code, falls under the purview of the local building and fire officials.

The Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC) has requirements for testing of new fire protection systems and equipment. A copy of the current USBC can be viewed here:

USBC (VCC) Section 905.2 requires all new standpipe systems to be installed in accordance with NFPA 14. The NFPA 14 states that tests be administered by a proper water pump or fire truck.


The Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code (SFPC) also includes requirements for maintenance of existing fire protection systems and equipment. A copy of the SFPC can be viewed here:

SFPC Section 905.2 requires all existing standpipe systems to be maintained in accordance with NFPA 25 and NFPA 14.

Andy and Taylor were both great to work with, showed up late when we needed them and early when we needed them. And they got us the successful passed inspections that we needed. We will use them again.”
