Fire hydrants are often overlooked when they aren’t leaking or causing trouble. Most people don’t give them much thought, and they can be put on the back burner when it comes to maintenance. But waiting for a fire emergency to try out those hydrants is not a good strategy—especially when they haven’t been tested routinely. The end result can be a loss of property or injury to your people.

Fire Hydrant

Stay up to code and enjoy peace of mind knowing that in the event of a fire, your fire hydrants will function the way they should with Thompson Safety’s fire hydrant and wet pipes services. We handle everything from testing, inspection, and maintenance to repairs and replacements.

We have years of experience helping businesses stay up to code while keeping their people and property safe when it counts the most.

Testing, Inspection, and Maintenance

Flow testing and inspections are required per NFPA 25 & NFPA 291 to give maximum assurance that the private fire hydrants or wet pipes are up to code and will operate effectively and safely.

Our highly trained technicians can handle your private dry or wet barrel fire hydrants and wet stand pipe inspections. During testing and inspection, we will perform the following:

  • Water flowed and pedo-gauge tested for proper GPM to verify unobstructed & adequate water department supply
  • Valves lubricated and inspected
  • Visual check for leaks in outlet on top of the hydrant
  • Verify proper drainage from the barrel
  • Check for cracks or corrosion in the hydrant barrel
  • Verify proper outlet threads and caps
  • Verify proper operation
  • Exercise and lubricate valves as needed
  • Provide a detailed inspection report for submittal to your insurance company and/or local fire department

Repairs & Replacements

Whether you have a couple fire hydrants around your building or dozens protecting an industrial facility, we have experience servicing systems of all sizes.

When maintenance reveals an issue, or if you notice visible leaking, we can typically repair it. This is more cost effective than replacement.

If a hydrant can’t be repaired due to age, damage, or another factor, we have the tools and know-how to replace it quickly.
