Fire Pump Inspection Service

Here Are Some Of The Things We Look At While Testing Your Fire Pumps

Control Valves 

Control valves prevent water from spurting out when not needed. It channels the water to the right direction. It opens when water is needed and closes when not. Our team will check the movement of the valve. If it’s having trouble opening or closing, the water pressure might not be right when water is needed for the sprinklers. We will check that the seals are in place, there is no leakage, etc. the marking on the pump should clearly indicate where the control valve is, how to open or close it and wrenches should be available.

Lubrication System 

We will clean the old lubrication from the joints and crankcases. We will apply a new layer of lubrication for easy movement of the cranks. Lubrication will prevent rusting and jamming of movable parts.

Exhaust System 

Fire pumps are high energy machines that heat up given if they don’t have a proper ventilation system.cleaning the pump regularly will also ensure proper ventilation and checking on the exhaust system is one thing we definitely check. We will inspect hangers and support flexible exhaust as preventive maintenance.

Fuel System 

We check the fuel levels, the wires, the connections, terminals, and overall flow of electricity when the engines are on.

Electrical System 

If your fire pump is operated on electricity we will check the wires, any frayed wires in the system or cross connection. We have some knowledgeable electricians on board who will do a through check for the electric inputs and mechanical outputs of the fire pump system.

Mechanical System 

Fire pumps have various mechanical parts that we take a look at to ensure they are working right. We will see if the manual starting system of the pumps are working or not. The controls are checks, like buttons, switches, valves. We will check the power cable links, breakers, pipes, water tanks, gas tank doors etc.

Pump Operation 

There are many functions that go inside a pump when it runs, to make sure all the functions are running smoothly we will conduct some tests. We will check with low water pressure, and peak flow. We will check if the sensors are working with precision. The water discharged would be tested and efficient tests would be conducted.
