How it works

  1. Send us the address

    The building address is all we need. We confirm which systems are due.

  2. Get a fixed quote

    Priced by system type and size. No work starts until you approve it.

  3. We test on site

    An LAFD certified tester runs the test. We coordinate with your manager and tenants on timing.

  4. We file with the city

    Results go to LAFD through its reporting system, The Compliance Engine. You get a copy for your records.

Our technicians are never paid on repair volume.

They are paid on accuracy, on time compliance, and customers who stay. A tester with a commission on repairs has a reason to find problems. Ours do not.

If something fails, you get a written list of what failed and a fixed price to correct it. You are free to take that list to anyone.

Common questions

What is the 5 year certification?

A deeper test of the sprinkler system required every five years on top of the regular inspections. It is the item owners most often find overdue when a notice arrives.

What happens if something fails?

You get a written list of each deficiency and a fixed price to correct it. We make the repair, retest, and file the passing result. Our technicians are never paid on repair volume.

What does it cost?

Pricing depends on the system type and the size of the building. You get a fixed quote before any work starts.

Do you file the results with LAFD?

Yes. We submit the report through The Compliance Engine, the reporting system the city uses, and send you a copy.
