Fire & Smoke Damper Inspection

Keeping your building safe starts here

Despite being a minor component of your HVAC system, fire and smoke dampers are crucial for preserving property and people in the event of a fire. To prevent smoke and flames from passing through your ductwork, these dampers automatically close.

According to the code, they must be inspected a year after installation and then every four years (or every six years in hospitals). Knowing that your life safety systems will function precisely when you need them is more important than merely maintaining compliance with these inspections.

At Mechanical Hygiene Services, we streamline that procedure. Using your Life Safety Drawings, our technicians locate each damper, thoroughly inspect them, and label them all. We even mark ceiling grids neatly so that they are easy to find during future maintenance or inspections.

Reporting & Tracking

Our team tests electric, pneumatic, and manual dampers to ensure proper actuation during each inspection. We can log and monitor performance over time because each damper we inspect is given a unique barcode tag.

With just a scan, you can access all of the reports, images, and service notes that are kept in our safe digital system at any time, even years later.

This system is beneficial:

Reduce the time and expense of upcoming inspections

Make surveys less stressful and more seamless.
Make sure your establishment is always prepared for compliance inspections.

Our Process

Inspection of the entire system

Every fire and smoke damper is meticulously tested to ensure seamless functioning and complete closure, as required by the NFPA.

Determine What Needs Repairs

To avoid any surprises later, we will identify any issues and explain what needs to be fixed if something isn't functioning correctly.

Review Your Life Safety Plans

All damper positions are marked on your building's drawings so that your facility crew will have a clear reference for future maintenance.

Label Every Damper

Every unit is assigned a unique ID label for convenient tracking and reference.

Indication of Access Points on Ceiling

In order to make dampers easy to locate without detracting from the aesthetics of your room, we place neat, expert labels beneath the ceiling grids where they are located.

Provide Comprehensive Records

You receive a proper report that complies with standards like AHJ & NFPA, including pictures, findings & recommendations.

We don’t stop at inspection.

We make sure every damper is restored, repaired, and ready when it counts.
