Firefighters Depend On Your Standpipe. Is It Ready?
Your Standpipe System Is A Firefighter’s First Tool. Treat It Accordingly.
When firefighters enter a New York City building to fight a fire, one of the first things they reach for is the standpipe system. These permanently installed pipe networks deliver water to hose connections on every floor, giving first responders a direct, reliable water supply without the delay of running hose lines from the street. But a standpipe system that hasn’t been properly maintained, inspected, and tested is a liability, both to the firefighters who depend on it and to the building owner responsible for keeping it compliant. Regular standpipe inspection is not optional; it’s a requirement under both the FDNY code and NFPA 25.

What Our Standpipe Inspection Covers
A thorough standpipe inspection addresses every critical element of your system:
Hose Valve And Outlet Condition
We inspect every hose valve outlet, cap, and gasket for condition, accessibility, and proper labeling. Blocked, corroded, or missing caps are flagged and addressed as part of standpipe compliance remediation.
Siamese Connection Inspection
Fire department siamese connections are verified for accessibility, cap condition, and proper signage. These connections must be ready for immediate use by first responders, and our standpipe inspection confirms they meet that standard.
Pressure Gauge And Control Valve Evaluation
All pressure gauges are read and compared against expected operating ranges. Control valves are checked for proper position, labeling, and supervisory status as required for standpipe testing compliance.
Standpipe System Flow And Pressure Testing
Where required, we perform standpipe testing under flow conditions to verify that the system delivers adequate pressure and volume at all required outlets. These tests are performed by certified technicians using calibrated equipment.
Our Standpipe Inspection Process
System Documentation Review
We review your building’s existing standpipe records, note the system class and configuration, and identify what standpipe inspection and testing is due under current code.
Full On-Site Inspection
Our technicians walk every floor, inspecting all hose valve connections, gauges, valves, and siamese connections. All findings are photographed and documented in detail.
Standpipe Testing
Required flow tests and pressure tests are performed per FDNY and NFPA 25 requirements. Results are recorded and compared against code-required minimums for standpipe compliance.
