Fire Sprinkler Service
in New York: Testing, Inspection & Repair

Keep Your Building Compliant, Your Insurance Valid, and Your People Safe With
NYC's Self-Performing Fire Sprinkler Experts

Total Fire Protection delivers fire sprinkler system testing and inspection across the tri-state area. We also provide maintenance and emergency repairs throughout the region. For over 15 years, our certified technicians have kept commercial buildings and multifamily properties compliant with NFPA 25 and FDNY codes. We also service high-rises while eliminating the finger-pointing that comes with juggling multiple contractors.

We handle both your fire sprinklers AND your fire alarm systems. When NFPA 25 requires two certified technicians for inspections, both work for us. No subcontractors. No vendor blame games. Only one company is responsible for ensuring your entire fire protection system works correctly.

Why Choose Total Fire Protection for Fire Sprinkler Service

Vendor coordination failures increase costs and delays while exposing you to FDNY violations and insurance scrutiny when responsibility is unclear. Total Fire Protection removes that risk by self-performing all fire protection services through a single accountable provider. When something fails, you make one call, and we fix it. This is a premium fire protection service for facilities leaders who cannot tolerate compliance risks or slow emergency response times.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do fire sprinkler systems need inspection?

NFPA 25 requires quarterly visual inspections and annual testing. Five-year internal pipe inspections are conducted to check for obstructions. Your insurance carrier may require more frequent testing.

We provide a detailed deficiency report and repair estimate. You decide whether to fix issues immediately or schedule repairs during planned shutdowns. We coordinate fire watch services if needed.

Yes. Fire pump testing cannot occur in freezing weather, but all other sprinkler inspections and repairs run year-round.

FDNY code mandates two-person inspections. One technician operates the test valve while the other verifies alarm transmission. Some contractors violate this by using building staff. We send two certified TFP technicians every time.
