There are a variety of factors that a business must prepare for to protect its property. According to the NFPA, each year more than 3,000 commercial properties are set ablaze. The majority of these fires take place in business offices and generally speaking most of those could have been prevented. You wouldn't think that one broken fire sprinkler could be the sole reason a property burns down, but a working one would be the reason a fire is put out in time. An old beaten down power cable, a distracted employee, or a flickering light. None immediately seem like they would be a hazard, but that's where it leads. It's just a small flame at first, but it spreads. In a room with functional fire safety, the flame is put out in seconds and not too much damage is done. In a room where the sprinkler head is malfunctioning, within 30 seconds that small flame has grown into a disaster. Everything ablaze this loss will cost the company a fortune in repairs. That small risk of a fire is why local and national fire agencies require that all fire safety equipment be functional and up to date with the fire safety code. If they find a problem when they come out for the yearly inspection, they will give you a month to fix the problem or shut you out of business.

There are three separate stages of repairing broken fire safety equipment; there is the first stage which involves a certified technician to come out and inspect the damaged device(s), the second stage where a technician comes out with the parts to repair the equipment, and the last stage where a certified inspector ensures that the equipment is up to date with the local fire protection laws. All three of these stages can be completed through one company, or they can be contracted out separately. It is more cost-effective and less stressful on the individual business owner to go through one company which holds all proper licenses.
