Fire Sprinkler Inspection
At Allstate Sprinkler, we provide thorough fire sprinkler inspections that ensure your building is protected by a fully compliant system. Our team is committed to safeguarding your property and addressing any concerns regarding NFPA 25 compliance, FDNY regulations, and fire protection system functionality.
Ensuring your building is protected by a fully operational fire sprinkler system is essential for safety and compliance. At Allstate Sprinkler, we provide thorough inspections that comply with NFPA 25 requirements, ensuring your staff understands how the system works and addressing any questions or misconceptions. Fire sprinkler systems are designed to activate only in emergencies—they don’t "just go off." Common issues like extreme weather, lack of maintenance, vandalism, or accidental damage can impact performance. Our inspections follow a detailed multi-point checklist to identify and prevent these problems, providing a comprehensive, documented account of your system’s status.
NFPA 25 Inspection
In 2012, the FDNY adopted the National Fire Protection Association’s Standard #25 (NFPA 25), placing legal responsibility on building owners to maintain their fire protection systems in compliance.
This requires all NFPA 25 inspections, testing, and servicing to be performed by licensed professionals, with detailed records kept for a minimum of three years, readily available for FDNY review. At Allstate Sprinkler, we help you meet these requirements with precision and efficiency.

NFPA 25 Inspection Requirements:
NFPA 25 has a specific monthly, quarterly and annual inspection, testing and servicing requirements.
The reporting shall include information relative to the conditions of water supply, gravity and pressure tanks, valves, risers, piping, sprinkler heads, fire department connections, alarms, fire/booster/special service pumps, internal obstructions, and conditions of all other system equipment and appurtenances.
The W-12 FDNY Certificate of Fitness has been replaced by an S-12 Certificate of Fitness. Our inspection and service teams have been certified by the FDNY at such level. We also have customized computer software to assure your facility is in compliance so the inevitable fines & potential liability for not adhering to NFPA 25 can be avoided.

NFPA 25 Inspection Regimen Mandated by NYC:
Weekly Inspections:
NFPA 25 has numerous points for weekly visual inspection. It expects building occupants or owners to perform these weekly inspections. This may also require a weekly fire pump churn test, if applicable. You can perform the weekly visual inspections yourself, or we can perform them for you. Maintaining records of these inspections can significantly help you if you receive a violation. We maintain all records of every fire sprinkler inspection in NYC and the surrounding areas, and can provide both hard copies and digital records upon request by the FDNY.
Monthly Inspections:
Monthly inspections standardized by NFPA 25 are more in depth than the weekly regimen and we maintain all records of these on file to comply with FDNY requirements. In addition to the weekly inspection regimen, the monthly inspection includes, but is not limited to the visual inspection of the following components:
- Inspection of all control valves only equipped with locks and/or supervised tamper switches.
- Inspection of all gauges (wet, dry, pre-action, deluge systems) Inspection of all alarm valves.
- Inspection of all dry pipe valves and their heated enclosures.
- Inspection of spare sprinkler heads and spare wrench Inspection of fire department connections.
- Inspection of the backflow device.
- Inspection of the booster pump and jockey pump.
Quarterly Testing and Inspections:
Quarterly tests and inspections standardized by NFPA 25 include the monthly visual inspection(s) identified above as well as a much more detailed visual and hands-on testing regimen. The quarterly fire sprinkler inspection also includes confirming adequate pressure readings and testing water flow and tamper switches. Post indicating valves and priming levels must also be tested and drain tests for backflow devices need to be performed. The fire sprinkler riser will also be inspected to ensure that the hydraulic nameplate, if applicable, is attached and legible.
Annual Testing and Inspections:
Annual tests and inspections standardized by NFPA 25 include the monthly and quarterly regiment identified above but has a few additional requirements. All components of the system(s) are visually inspected, potential obstructions are identified, and an assessment is made to determine if the requirements of the system have changed. Each sprinkler control valve is tested, pumps are operated and water flow is measured. Every 5th year, an Internal Obstruction Assessment is to be performed during the annual test.
