Masters of Inspection
PIPCO’s technicians are
trained and certified in the testing and inspecting of sprinkler
systems and backflow prevention devices. All services are in
compliance with industry and municipality standards and regulations throughout our service
area, which extends from Chicago to St. Louis. Inspections are available for any size
and type of business.
The Inspection Services Division at the PIPCO Companies, Ltd. has
an experienced team of in-house engineers, designers, installers and technicians
specialized in the science of fire protection. We also have fabricators working daily in a warehouse completely stocked with fire protection system components and accessories. Along with the support of our fabrication shop, our technicians have the resource of a truck equipped with tools and parts to troubleshoot and fix inconsistencies with the tested systems. These features provide our customer with money saving and time sensitive solutions not available elsewhere.
Our inspection process consists of a full service inspection and testing of your system, followed by a walk-through of the property. Our technicians are trained to fix small inconsistencies found during our inspections for no additional cost. If a major improvement is needed, a service proposal will be drawn up and provided to you for review.
