Fire Pump Testing

FIRE PUMP TESTING

Fire pumps are a critical part of a fire protection system, especially when they are fed via suction from water tanks and reservoirs. Properly maintained and tested, fire pumps will deliver countless years of worry-free performance. All of our pump tests are conducted as per the outline in NFPA 25 for churn, rating and capacity.

When we come to test your fire pumps, rest assured that we inspect and document every aspect of your fire pump - from general condition all the way through the dates of last service and everything in between. You can expect a thorough report that outlines any issues that we've found, all the data from the fire pump, driver, and controllers, as well as a plotted pump curve that can be used to compare to previous years test that can indicate any performance issues. We take pride in our reports.

Fire Hydrant Testing

FIRE HYDRANT TESTING

The various local Fire Codes & NFPA clearly outline the need for regular hydrant maintenance, service and testing. Spring flushing, and fall winterizing and lubrication keeps the hydrants ready for any emergency - at any time of year. At Total Fire Solutions we can perform fire hydrant flushing and flow testing, winterizations, troubleshooting and reporting. We also have a civil crew that can complete underground repairs, hydrant and isolation valve replacements, as well as new installations as required.

Fire Extinguisher Testing

FIRE EXTINGUISHER TESTING & CERTIFICATION

Fire Extinguishers are the front line defence against fires in your place of business. It's the law that this equipment is inspected, maintained, and repaired as per manufacturers specifications. We offer certification in low pressure and high pressure hydrotesting, as well as annual certification for ALL types of portable fire extinguishers.

We offer mobile fire extinguisher services as well - we can come to your location with our mobile lab, and hydrotest and certify all of your extinguishers.

(Fixed, Semi-Fixed & Portable Systems)

Maintaining your fixed and semi-fixed fire systems is a big job - and it's what we do best. Checking foam chambers and pourers, replacing vapor disks, verifying flows, proportion testing and ensuring that your system is delivering the right amount of solution to the end point, unplugging blockages in the system - we ensure your system is ready to go.

Fire fighting foam is essential in ensuring that a fire gets extinguished early. We test hundreds of systems annually. Does your system still meet the criteria that it was designed against? Give us a call and we can ensure your system can still get the job done. We provide thorough reporting to meet the requirements of NFPA, FM Global, and your local fire codes.

Looking for environmentally friendly foam testing? We offer surrogate liquid testing that allows your system to be tested without using any of your foam concentrate, and the solution can be dumped on the ground. *Some piping modifications may be required.

Hose Testing

FIRE HOSE TESTING

NFPA 1962 outlines the requirements for the testing of fire hose throughout the municipal and industrial fire brigades across the country. Traditionally departments have left the testing up to the firefighters to be completed during backshift and downtime operations. Unfortunately, the model of testing really has not worked out well for departments in general. Apparatus downtime, personnel overtime, training techniques, and overall motivation for "testing fire hose" has led to outrageous costs for departments trying to manage this service internally.

We have a different approach to hose testing - and because we do this regularly and methodically with a proven system - we can get the job done for a fraction of the price of departments that are trying to manage this on their own. We have testimonials, and real numbers that prove the system that we are utilizing.

Commissioning

FIRE SYSTEM COMMISSIONING

3rd Party Verification of engineered designs is vital to ensure that your system works the way that it's supposed to. We perform commissioning on new installations, as well as systems that have been retrofitted or added onto. Regardless of the scenario, you can count on us to ensure that the system is tested correctly, and that all mechanical, and electrical controls within the fire system are functional and registering correctly.
