Common questions
Do you service businesses in Kannapolis, NC?
Yes. Kannapolis is roughly 32 miles from our base in Claremont, well within our service area. Call (828) 568-2035 to schedule.
How often does commercial fire equipment need to be inspected in Kannapolis?
Portable fire extinguishers require a monthly visual inspection by the owner and annual maintenance by a trained technician. Emergency and exit lighting requires monthly functional testing and an annual duration test. Kitchen suppression systems are inspected semi-annually. Your local authority having jurisdiction sets the requirements that apply to your specific building.
What happens if we fail a fire inspection?
A failed inspection usually comes with a correction period, and it is usually short. Send us the report and we will tell you which deficiencies fall within our scope, which need another trade, and whether we can correct ours inside your deadline.
How quickly can you get to Kannapolis?
Kannapolis is on our regular route at roughly 32 miles, so scheduling is normally a few days out rather than weeks. If you are working against a correction deadline, say so when you call.
Do you service equipment we did not buy from you?
Yes. We service whatever is already in your building regardless of who supplied or last tagged it, and we will tell you plainly if something is past the point where servicing it makes sense.
What does not fall within your scope?
We do not perform fire sprinkler work or fire alarm system testing, and we do not clean hoods. If an inspection finding needs one of those, we will say so rather than subcontracting it back to you at a markup.
