Questions
Fire Damper Inspection: common questions
How often do fire dampers need to be tested?
Generally one year after installation and then every four years. In hospitals, the interval is generally every six years. We track the next due date for every damper.
What if we can't reach a damper?
We document it as inaccessible with its location and photos, and note what's needed to reach it, such as an access panel. That gives your team a clear list to correct.
Do you test combination fire and smoke dampers?
Yes. Tell us which dampers are combination units and we will include them in the scope.
