 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great company, great service and, more importantly, great people! Antony stopped in one day to service the previous business that had been in our location and, after a brief conversation, I chose to hire national fire systems. Since then he’s made that part of my job extremely easy by following up, providing the services he’s promised and making sure we’re fully compliant. Thank you, Antony!

Our Fire Inspection Services

We perform in-house inspections, testing, and documentation across the full range of fire and life-safety systems:

Fire Sprinkler Inspections

Quarterly, annual, and 5-year internal inspections per NFPA 25, including flow testing and alarm verification.

Fire Extinguisher Inspections

Annual certification per NFPA 10, monthly visual-check support, and 6-year internal maintenance.

Kitchen Hood Suppression

Semi-annual testing per NFPA 17A/96, nozzle inspection, fusible link replacement, and actuation testing.

Fire Pump Testing

Weekly/monthly churn tests and annual flow testing per NFPA 20 and NFPA 25.

Fire Hydrant Testing

Flow testing, static/residual pressure checks, and valve operation testing for private underground hydrants.

Standpipe & Hose Inspections

Routine testing and hydrostatic testing of standpipe components and fire hoses.

High-Pressure Cylinder Testing

Hydrostatic requalification for CO2, clean agent, and pressure vessels under DOT License #B033.

Every inspection includes complete documentation — reports, tags, and certifications required by your Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and insurance carrier.

How Often Do Fire Systems Need to Be Inspected?

System	Inspection Frequency	Governing Code
Fire Sprinklers	Quarterly, annual, and every 5 years (each independent, varying depth)	NFPA 25
Fire Extinguishers	Annually (plus monthly visual checks)	NFPA 10
Kitchen Hood Suppression	Semi-annually	NFPA 17A / 96
Fire Pumps	Weekly/monthly churn test, annual flow test	NFPA 20 / 25
CO2 & High-Pressure Cylinders	Every 5 years (hydrostatic)	DOT / NFPA
Portable Extinguisher Hydro Test	Every 5–12 years, depending on type	NFPA 10

We track these intervals for you and reach out before anything comes due — no missed inspections, no compliance surprises.

What Happens When We Find a Deficiency?

If an inspection uncovers a code violation or deficiency, we don’t just hand you a list and walk away — we perform the correction or repair ourselves and provide the tags, reports, and documentation your AHJ and insurer require.

We regularly submit plans and coordinate directly with the City of Sacramento Fire Department, Sac Metro Fire Department, and Elk Grove Cosumnes Fire District.
