Contain the Threat.
Protect the Structure.
From fire and smoke damper services to firestop systems, fire doors, and firefighter's phones, we install and maintain the passive and active fire protection systems that keep your building intact when it matters most.
Complete Fire Suppression & Protection Systems
Fire suppression and passive fire protection work together to slow fire spread, maintain safe egress routes, and give occupants the time they need to evacuate safely. We handle every component.
Fire & Smoke Damper Services
Fire and smoke dampers are critical barriers inside your HVAC ductwork. They automatically close during a fire event to prevent flames and smoke from traveling through duct systems and spreading throughout the building.
- Fire damper installation and replacement
- Smoke damper installation and replacement
- Combination fire and smoke dampers
- Damper actuator testing and servicing
- NFPA 80 and NFPA 105 compliant service
Firestop Systems
Every penetration in a fire-rated wall or floor assembly is a potential pathway for fire and smoke. Firestop systems seal these openings around pipes, conduits, cables, and ductwork to restore the fire resistance rating of the assembly.
- Firestop caulk and sealant applications
- Firestop pillows and putty pads
- Penetration firestop for cables and conduits
- Joint systems for wall and floor assemblies
- UL-listed firestop product installation
Fire Doors
Fire doors are a primary line of defense in compartmentalizing a building during a fire. They must be properly installed, maintained, and compliant with NFPA 80 to function when needed and pass annual inspections.
- Fire door installation and replacement
- Fire door hardware inspection and repair
- Self-closing and latching mechanism service
- Fire door gap and clearance corrections
- NFPA 80 annual fire door inspections
Firefighter's Phones
Firefighter telephone systems provide dedicated two-way communication between fire command stations and remote locations throughout a high-rise or large facility. They are required by code in many commercial occupancies and are essential for coordinated emergency response.
- Firefighter phone system installation
- Two-way communication jack stations
- Fire command center phone panels
- System testing and annual inspection
- NFPA 72 compliant installations
Passive Fire Protection
Passive fire protection encompasses all of the built-in structural elements that contain fire without requiring activation. We assess, install, and document passive systems as part of a complete fire protection strategy for your facility.
- Fire-rated wall and ceiling assembly assessment
- Penetration sealing surveys and documentation
- Coordination with building inspectors and AHJs
- As-built documentation and compliance records
- Retrofit firestop for existing buildings
Code Compliance & Documentation
Fire suppression and protection systems must be documented and verifiable for code compliance and insurance purposes. We provide comprehensive inspection reports, deficiency records, and corrective action documentation with every service visit.
- Written inspection reports for all components
- Deficiency tagging and corrective action tracking
- AHJ submission support
- Insurance and compliance documentation packages
- Annual service records and history tracking

Common Fire Suppression Challenges We Solve
Passive fire protection systems are often the most overlooked part of a building's life safety profile. Here are the problems we encounter most often and how we address them.
Failed Damper Inspections
Fire and smoke dampers are required to be inspected every one to four years depending on occupancy type, yet many buildings have dampers that have never been tested since installation. Failed or stuck dampers are one of the most common fire code deficiencies we find during assessments.
Unsealed Penetrations After Renovations
Every time a contractor runs new conduit, cable, or piping through a fire-rated wall, those penetrations must be firestopped. Renovation projects frequently leave unsealed openings that compromise fire ratings, create code violations, and can void insurance coverage if discovered after a loss.
Non-Compliant or Damaged Fire Doors
Fire doors that have been propped open, damaged, painted over, or had hardware removed no longer provide the fire separation they were designed for. NFPA 80 requires annual inspections of all fire doors, and non-compliant doors must be repaired or replaced immediately.
High-Rise Communication Requirements
Buildings above a certain height are required by Florida Building Code and NFPA 72 to have firefighter telephone systems. Many older buildings have outdated or non-functioning systems that do not meet current code, creating liability for building owners and management.
Missing or Incomplete Documentation
Insurance companies and code officials require written documentation of fire protection system inspections and corrective actions. Buildings without proper records face complications during claims, audits, and certificate of occupancy renewals.
Multiple Contractors, No Accountability
When different vendors handle dampers, doors, and firestop separately, things get missed and no one is responsible for the full picture. We provide a single point of accountability for your entire passive fire protection program, from inspection through corrective action.

How We Deliver Your Protection
Every fire suppression and protection engagement starts with understanding your building and ends with documented, compliant, fully functional systems.
Building Assessment
We walk your facility and identify all fire doors, dampers, penetrations, and firefighter communication components, documenting their current condition and compliance status.
Deficiency Report
You receive a clear, itemized report of every deficiency found, what code or standard it violates, and what the corrective action requires. No surprises, no vague findings.
Repair & Installation
Our certified technicians perform all necessary repairs, replacements, and new installations to bring every system component into full compliance with applicable codes.
Final Documentation
We deliver complete inspection reports, corrective action records, and compliance documentation so your building file is audit-ready and your insurance coverage is protected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions building owners and facility managers ask us most about fire suppression and passive fire protection.
NFPA 80 and NFPA 105 require fire and smoke dampers to be inspected within one year of installation, then every four years in most commercial occupancies and every two years in hospitals and healthcare facilities. Many buildings are behind on this schedule. We help you get current and keep you on a documented inspection cycle going forward.
A failed damper must be repaired or replaced as soon as practicable. The specific timeline depends on the type of impairment and your local AHJ. We document all failed dampers, tag them appropriately, and can perform the necessary repairs in the same service engagement to minimize downtime and get your building back into compliance quickly.
Firestop refers to the materials and systems used to seal openings and joints in fire-rated wall and floor assemblies. Without proper firestop, a fire can travel through cable and pipe penetrations from one zone of a building to another in minutes, defeating the purpose of fire-rated construction. Properly installed and documented firestop is required by code and is often a condition of commercial property insurance policies.
Firefighter telephone systems are required by NFPA 72 and the Florida Building Code in high-rise buildings, large assembly occupancies, and certain other facility types. The specific threshold depends on building height and occupancy classification. We can review your building type and confirm whether a system is required, and if so, whether your existing system meets current code requirements.
Yes. We regularly perform fire door surveys and annual inspections for large commercial facilities including office buildings, condominiums, hospitals, and warehouses with dozens or hundreds of fire doors. We document each door individually, tag deficiencies, and can perform repairs and hardware replacements as part of the same service visit or a scheduled follow-up.
Yes. Every inspection we perform is accompanied by a written report that documents what was inspected, the findings for each component, any deficiencies identified, and the corrective actions taken or recommended. These reports are formatted to satisfy both insurance carrier requirements and AHJ documentation standards. We can also maintain your inspection history on file for easy retrieval when needed.
