How often do fire sprinklers need to be inspected in Kansas?

Kansas follows NFPA 25, which requires a full inspection at least once a year. Quarterly inspections are required for certain system types and commercial properties. Weekly and monthly checks apply to specific components like control valves and gauges. If you're not sure what your building requires, call us and we'll tell you straight.

What does an NFPA 25 inspection cover?

NFPA 25 covers the entire sprinkler system — heads, pipes, control valves, gauges, and water supply. We also test fire pumps and backflow devices as part of a complete inspection. You get a written report with any deficiencies noted and a clear timeline for correction.

How long does a fire sprinkler inspection take?

Most inspections take between one and four hours depending on system size and type. Large commercial properties with multiple zones take longer. We'll give you a realistic time estimate before we show up.

What happens if my system fails inspection?

We'll document every deficiency, explain what it means, and give you options for repair. We don't pressure you — we just make sure you understand what needs to be fixed and why. Critical failures need to be corrected immediately. We can handle the repairs as well as the re-inspection.

Can I schedule same-week inspections?

Usually, yes. Call us at (316) 833-3215 and we'll find the earliest available slot.

Do you provide inspection reports for fire marshals and the AHJ?

Yes. Every inspection comes with a written report you can submit to your AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) or insurance provider. We document everything — the date, all components inspected, test results, and any deficiencies found.

Do you do inspections for all system types?

Yes. We inspect wet pipe, dry pipe, pre-action, deluge, and antifreeze systems. We also perform fire pump flow testing and backflow device testing as part of comprehensive system maintenance.

If your system hasn't been inspected this year, you're already behind

NFPA 25 requires fire sprinkler systems to be inspected, tested, and maintained on a regular schedule. Most commercial property owners know about the annual inspection — but there are also quarterly requirements, and a comprehensive 5-year inspection that most people miss until the fire marshal catches it.

We perform NFPA 25 inspections at all required intervals with fast turnarounds on reporting and direct upload to AHJ databases. You'll have your documentation when you need it.

We serve commercial buildings, multi-family housing, industrial facilities, and residential properties across Kansas and Northern Oklahoma.
