System Inspections
Typically these services are performed during normal hours and normal workdays. Inspection frequencies vary by device from weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual, 3 year and 5 year intervals.  NFPA 25 California Edition is the standard for the inspection, testing and maintenance of water based fire protection systems, with specific requirements for California.

Wet, Dry, Pre-Action, Deluge Type Systems
A system that consists of an integrated network of piping designed in accordance with fire protection engineering standards that includes a water supply source, a water control valve, a water flow alarm, and a drain. The portion of the sprinkler system above ground is a network of specifically sized or hydraulically designed piping installed in a building, structure, or area, generally overhead, and to which sprinklers are attached in a systematic pattern. The system is commonly activated by heat from a fire and discharges water over the fire area.
Pre-Action and Deluge systems add another facet of detection, which involves varying devices to activate in order to discharge water over a fire area.
It is imperative and important for these systems to have regular service to ensure continued operation and proper protection. NFPA 25 California requires that these systems be tested quarterly, with varying criteria at different intervals.

Fire Hydrant Testing/Maintenance/Installation/Repair
A valved connection on a water supply system having one or more outlets and that is used to supply hose and fire department pumpers with water on private property.
These devices are required to be serviced and tested by NFPA 25 California, with some jurisdictions requiring specific tests.

Fire Pump Testing/Maintenance/Installation
A pump that is a provider of water flow and pressure dedicated to fire protection. These devices, whether Diesel or Electric, require specific maintenance per NFPA 25 California standards. Typically, diesel-driven pumps require weekly runs and electric monthly.

Back Flow Testing and Repairs/Installation
These devices prevent the reverse flow of water that could contaminate the water supply. Where connections are made from public waterworks systems, such systems should be guarded against possible contamination. Alongside the regular quarterly inspections from NFPA 25 California, most jurisdictions require backflows to be tested annually.
