Pre-Occupancy Fire System Testing for Contractors & Developers in MD, VA, DC, NC, SC
Fast-mobilization standpipe, hydrostatic, and hydrant testing that fits your construction timeline and gets you the passed inspections you need for CO.
"Don't Hand Over the Keys to an Untested Building."
Every day of delay at CO is a day of lost revenue, carrying cost, and risk. A failed or missed fire system test can push your certificate of occupancy, and burn through your schedule contingency in a single afternoon. We work around your schedule, not ours.
Enforcement Risk at CO
The AHJ will require NFPA 14 acceptance tests (with ongoing NFPA 25 testing thereafter) for any building with a standpipe system. No test, no CO. Period.
Insurance for New Builds
Builder's risk and owner's insurance on new construction specifically require documented fire system acceptance testing before coverage transitions.
Liability Transfer
An untested system at turnover is a liability still sitting with you. Proper acceptance testing shifts risk cleanly to the owner and ongoing maintenance provider.
Differentiation
Developers who deliver buildings with complete, tested, documented fire systems earn premium valuations and faster lease-up from sophisticated tenants.
We Work Around Your Schedule
Construction timelines are unforgiving. When you're 3 weeks from CO and your standpipe needs flow testing, you don't have time for a 6-week lead time or a testing firm that can only come on Tuesdays.
We specialize in fast mobilization for construction jobs, typically on site within 1–3 weeks of request, and we'll work weekends, early mornings, or late nights to hit your punch list. When the test passes, the NFPA 14 or 25 compliant report from our licensed Fire Protection Firm partner hits the AHJ the same week.
What We Test for New Construction
- NFPA 14 acceptance tests on new standpipe systems
- Hydrostatic testing at 200 PSI for new installations
- Fire hydrant flow tests for hydraulic calculations
- Dry pipe valve trip tests for new dry systems
- Pipe flushing of underground mains before tie-in
- Field data and reporting coordination through a licensed Fire Protection Firm partner when required for AHJ and owner turnover
"Andy and Taylor were both great to work with. They understood our construction timeline, mobilized quickly, and got us the successful passed inspections we needed to hit our CO date. Highly recommend."
