ROV Tank Inspection & Hydrant Flow Testing in South Carolina
Underwater tank inspection and hydrant flow testing across Charleston, Columbia, the Upstate, and the Grand Strand.
In South Carolina, FLOW leads with two services. The first is underwater rover (ROV) inspection of fire protection water tanks, where a pilot flies the rover inside the tank while it stays full and in service. The second is fire hydrant flow testing, where FLOW runs the test, produces the report, and sends it to you. We cover hotels, resorts, coastal condominium towers, campuses, and industrial sites across the state, and we work from the NFPA 25 edition your AHJ has adopted.
Underwater ROV tank inspection in South Carolina
A pilot flies an underwater rover inside your fire protection water tank and records what it sees. The tank stays full and in service during the inspection, so the fire protection water supply stays available. NFPA 25 Chapter 9 sets the interior inspection cycle by tank type; confirm the edition your AHJ has adopted before you schedule.
Fire hydrant flow testing in South Carolina
FLOW flows the hydrant, records static, residual, and pitot readings, and produces and sends its own report. Use it for fire sprinkler design data, private hydrant testing under NFPA 25, or a water-supply check before a project.
Standpipe flow testing in SC is available on request. Text 804-426-1226.
Local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ)
Confirm the adopted codes, and the NFPA 25 edition in force, with your local AHJ before you schedule. FLOW works from the edition your AHJ has adopted.
