Looking for a few tips and tricks from the pros when it comes to your Tampa fire extinguisher service? You stumbled on the right article because we’re dishing our top tips to keep your system in great condition.

Your Fire & Life Safety equipment might not always be water cooler talk or seem like the most pressing topic of concern, but having a working system is important for keeping your property and tenants safe in the event of an emergency. Here are a few tips and tricks we recommend for your Tampa fire extinguisher service. 

#1 Get Your Fire Extinguisher Inspected By A Professional

On a monthly basis, you should have someone do a quick visual check on your fire extinguisher to look for any physical damage, such as dents, that may inhibit it from properly functioning when you need it to. 

In addition to a quick monthly check, you should also have one of our technicians swing by to conduct a Tampa fire extinguisher service to inspect and certify it annually.

We also offer 6-year maintenance for stored-pressure fire extinguishers, and 5 and 12-year hydrostatic testing for extinguishers that require a hydrostatic test. 

#2 Keep The Fire Extinguisher In An Isolated Area

Dropping a fire extinguisher can seriously damage it, which is why it’s best to keep it in an isolated area. Keep in mind that they are pressurized vessels, so if they get dropped, it can cause the pickup tube to break– making it faulty.

#3 Check The Pressure Gauge and Safety Pin

Checking the pressure gauge is one way to make sure your fire extinguisher is in good shape. You should be checking that the gauge is on the green in between the red zones– if not, you should get it professionally inspected. You can also look to see if the safety pin is in place. If it’s removed or lost, you should contact us to take a professional look to determine if it needs to be repaired or replaced.
