The Process

How it works

Our 6-year maintenance service is a process, meticulously structured to assess and enhance the operational integrity of your fire extinguishers:

  • 1. Visual Inspection

    The technician will start by visually inspecting the exterior of the fire extinguisher for any signs of damage, corrosion, or tampering. They will also check the pressure gauge to ensure it's within the acceptable range.

  • 2. Disassembly

    The extinguisher is then disassembled carefully to access its internal components. This involves removing the valve assembly, hose, and other parts depending on the type of extinguisher.

  • 3. Internal Component Inspection

    Each internal component is inspected thoroughly for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. This includes the valve assembly, cylinder, pressure gauge, O-rings, and discharge mechanism.

  • 4. Cleaning and Lubrication

    Any debris or residue inside the extinguisher is cleaned out, and internal parts are lubricated as needed to ensure smooth operation.

  • 5. Reassembly and Recharging

    After inspection and any necessary repairs or replacements, the extinguisher is reassembled carefully. If the extinguisher uses a refillable agent, it will be recharged with the appropriate extinguishing agent.

  • 6. Certification and Documentation

    Once the inspection is complete and the extinguisher is deemed to be in good working condition, the technician will certify the inspection and provide documentation of compliance. This documentation is often required for regulatory compliance and insurance purposes.

    Regular maintenance ensures that your fire extinguishers are ready to use in an emergency, compliant with local and insurance requirements, and capable of safeguarding lives and property. It's not just about meeting regulations; it's about proactive safety measures to protect your future.

  • Can FES Indiana help my business comply with local fire safety regulations?

    Absolutely. Our services are designed to ensure that your fire extinguishers meet all local government requirements and insurance company protocols. Our thorough inspections and maintenance are performed to keep you compliant and your property safe.

  • How often do fire extinguishers need to be serviced?

    Fire extinguishers require an annual inspection and maintenance service to stay current with safety standards. Additionally, a more detailed internal inspection is necessary every 6 years, and a hydrostatic cylinder test is required every 12 years for most portable ABC fire extinguishers.

  • What are ABC Fire Extinguishers?

    ABC fire extinguishers are multipurpose devices designed to tackle most common fires, including those involving ordinary combustibles (Class A), flammable liquids (Class B), and electrical equipment (Class C). They use a dry chemical powder, monoammonium phosphate, which smothers the fire by interrupting the chemical reaction of the fire triangle (fuel, heat, and oxygen). Due to their versatility, ABC extinguishers are ideal for offices, homes, schools, and commercial spaces, making them a crucial part of any fire safety plan. Regular maintenance ensures they are ready for use in an emergency.

  • What is a Low Pressure Hydrostatic Cylinder Test?

    A Low Pressure Hydrostatic Cylinder Test is a safety verification process for fire extinguishers to ensure their pressure vessels are leak-free and structurally sound. This involves visually inspecting the cylinder, filling it with water, pressurizing it beyond its normal level, then checking for leaks or deformations. If successful, the extinguisher is drained, reassembled, refilled, and certified as safe to use. This test, often required every 12 years, confirms the extinguisher's reliability and compliance with safety standards.

  • How do I know if my fire extinguisher is still good?

    A fire extinguisher is considered "still good" if it falls within its maintenance and inspection schedule, has a readable pressure gauge indicating the proper pressure, and shows no signs of physical damage, corrosion, or obstruction. Regular inspections by a professional, like those provided by FES Indiana, can confirm its readiness and compliance with safety standards.es, our team of certified technicians is equipped to inspect and maintain a wide range of fire extinguisher types, ensuring that regardless of the specific needs of your business, we can provide expert service.
