I need a new sprinkler system
Start with installation when planning a new commercial building, addition, or other project that may require new sprinkler protection.
My building is being changed
Renovations, tenant improvements, layout changes, and changes in use can create sprinkler-system questions before construction is complete.
Our warehouse or storage is changing
Changes to racks, storage height, products, layout, or building use can be reasons to have existing sprinkler protection evaluated.
After a fire sprinkler inspection
A report is often the beginning of the decision process, not the end. The next step depends on what was documented and what follow-up is needed. Not every inspection follows the same sequence, and not every finding requires repair.

Ohio fire sprinkler requirements & ITM
Ohio's current Fire Code references the 2023 edition of NFPA 25 for inspection, testing, and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems.
Commercial sprinkler inspection, testing, and maintenance does not operate on one universal annual-inspection clock. Applicable tasks can occur at different intervals depending on the system and equipment.
