Allstate Sprinkler Corp is NY’s choice when it comes to protecting your commercial building in Queens from fires. All building owners and managers want to keep their property, customers and employees safe, and one of the biggest concerns is fire safety. Fires in a commercial building can be catastrophic, leading to injury and death, as well as destroying property and inventory. NY building code requires that commercial buildings be equipped with fire sprinkler systems that meets certain standards.
The services offered in Queens are:
- Fire sprinkler installations. Allstate Sprinkler Corp is one of Queens’ leading fire-life safety contractors, installing high quality fire sprinklers for projects ranging from new and existing high rises to apartment buildings. Our fire protection company designs, engineers and installs a fire sprinkler system to protect your building. At Allstate Sprinkler, we ensure that your fire sprinkler is installed correctly & working properly.
- Fire sprinkler inspection. Fire sprinkler systems are required to be inspected in accordance with NFPA 25. An inspection is a visual examination to check the status of your sprinkler system. Sprinkler systems, standpipe systems and fire pumps must be inspected annually, semiannually, quarterly or sometimes monthly in accordance with NFPA 25.
- Fire sprinkler violation removal and testing. If you have received a notice of violation from the FDNY, you’ll want to call a qualified fire sprinkler repair service to address those issues. Allstate Sprinkler also performs detailed sprinkler tests, outside of FNDY inspections. Some of these include pressure testing to ensure the correct operation in the event of a fire.
- Fire sprinkler system repairs and maintenance. Sprinklers save lives. Well maintained and functioning fire sprinkler systems are an integral part of a company’s overall fire safety plan. When fire sprinkler systems fail to operate you may need an expert fire sprinkler technician that services NY to troubleshoot, identify and repair issues found.
- In-Building Auxiliary Radio Communication System. The ARCS provides either a one-way or two-way communication medium for the New York Fire Department while in the building. Allstate Sprinkler Corp is the leading provider of FDNY ARCS designs and installations across NYC. The ARCS provides either a one-way or two-way communication medium for the New York Fire Department while in the building. It works via a frequency spectrum that is exclusive to the department. An ARCS NYC test ensures that the communication systems work exactly as they should. Ideally, you never need to put these systems to real use. However, it’s important to keep them in the best shape, just in case.
- NFPA-25 Inspections. New York City has adopted the National Fire Protection Association Standard # 25 as a matter of law effective January 1, 2012. New York City is one of the few large cities worldwide that had yet to adopt this standard. The FDNY and insurance company underwriters have now fully embraced this new standard and are positioned to aggressively assure compliance for all applicable facilities. The new law now makes every building owner legally responsible for ensuring that all NFPA 25 inspections, testing, and servicing intervals are performed by a licensed individual and that detailed records of same are maintained for a minimum of 3 years and are readily available for inspection by the New York City Fire Department at any given moment.
