Early detection and suppression of a fire can save lives and minimize property damage. But simply installing fire detection, alarm, and suppression systems isn’t enough. These systems require regular testing to ensure they’ll be ready if a fire incident occurs. Still, many property owners, facilities, and life safety teams fail to schedule regular fire and life safety system inspections. Everon’s team of certified fire and life safety professionals can provide the necessary testing and inspections—all on the appropriate schedule—to keep your facilities up to code and keep your systems working properly.
Although protecting lives and staying up to code are the primary reasons to test and inspect your system regularly, there are also other reasons:
Detector Requirements | Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Visual test | Initial install/reacceptance, semi-annually after that | Can be performed by owner or Everon™ |
Functional test | Annually | Requires measured smoke or listed aerosol blown into smoke detector chamber |
Sensitivity test | One year after install, every two years thereafter | May be extended to a maximum of five years if two tests in a row were in acceptable sensitivity range |
Cleaning | As required | Varies by smoke detector manufacturer and environmental conditions |
Replacement | Option if found to be outside sensitivity range | Average lifespan is 10 years |

Just having a monitored fire alarm system isn’t enough. Our highly experienced Everon professionals will work with you to create a comprehensive fire and life safety plan so you can rest assured that you’ll have the help you need to be ready to deal with challenges before they appear.
Fire and life safety systems should work around the clock to keep your assets safe. Functional testing and inspections help to ensure that minor issues are caught and addressed before they have the chance to cause major disruptions.
Your inspection schedule will be customized to fit the needs of your business and local code requirements. We’ll work with you to provide inspections at a time that is convenient for you to minimize impact to business operations.
We can help ensure your systems are compliant with NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code.
Our streamlined inspection process uses BuildingReports™, which allows you to easily maintain, document, and share compliance information digitally with local fire authorities.
At the end of every test, you’ll have inspection reports that document our findings and next steps we recommend to help ensure compliance and 100% functionality. We’ll store those forms securely. If you misplace your copy, you’ll have a backup set to rely on.
Keep growing your business with peace of mind knowing our specialized experts are there to help you navigate the complexities and ever-shifting regulations of building fire codes and standards.
With our decades of experience, you can trust that we know the local fire code requirements for your building’s pipes and valves. We can provide periodic inspections that can save you money by discovering small problems before they turn into big issues, and help keep you in compliance with NFPA 25 standards.
The NFPA requires an internal inspection of water-based sprinklers every five years. Be sure to schedule this important service with Everon’s team of fire suppression experts. Your Everon team will look for two main problems during their inspection of your sprinkler system: piping obstruction and internal valve damage or malfunction. The piping obstruction inspection looks inside your system with an internal camera for identification of possible materials or conditions that could cause pipe blockage.
The following four points of your sprinkler system are examined internally:
If an obstruction is discovered, our team can perform a flushing program to help keep your system’s performance in optimal condition.
During the internal valve inspection, we will open and inspect each valve—examining their associated strainers, filters, and restriction orifices. The inspection is performed in addition to the yearly operational test of all valves.
NFPA 25 requires five-year inspections, but that’s not the only reason you should have them. Blockage and corrosion can cause leaks and damage that could result in costly repairs or even the replacement of your entire system piping. A blocked pipe or valve can also prevent a system from working, rendering it ineffective and putting lives at risk.
Our experienced technicians are certified to perform fire suppression inspections. They will visually check each component of your fire suppression system to make sure that it is fully functional and in compliance with NFPA requirements.
Add these additional layers of fire detection, knowing you are protected by our advanced solutions and qualified experts with decades of experience protecting complex businesses like yours.
Help ensure your facilities are protected and in compliance with local, state, and national fire safety code requirements with our integrated fire alarm systems that use reliable and code-compliant communication to supervising central monitoring stations.
Our 24/7 monitored spot-type smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide detectors help identify and communicate alarm conditions when abnormalities are detected in the environment.
Through active air-sampling smoke detection (ASD), Everon can help detect the earliest signs of fire in the incipient stage. Early warning detection and prevention is critical to identifying potential risks to occupants, key stakeholders, and first responders who may be threatened by carbon monoxide, smoke, heat, and environmental gases.
