We carry out detailed inspections

In addition to undertaking annual fire extinguisher maintenance, we also empty, refill and pressurize the fire extinguisher, as well as carry out a hydro test. It involves filling the fire extinguisher with pressurized water to identify if there are any leaks or corrosion. After the test is complete, the extinguisher is dried, refilled and pressurized. Having said that, we should not just annually inspect an extinguisher. Conduct visual checks at least once a month. Ensure that the fire extinguisher is in the correct designated spot, and most importantly easy to access. Instructions on the extinguisher should be clear and make sure all the seals are intact.

The importance of regularly servicing and maintaining your fire extinguishers should never be underestimated. An annual service carried out by a competent professional from Cease Fire Solutions who have the right training, qualifications and expertise is important. To schedule an initial consultation, consult with our team today.
