Frequently asked questions
Monthly visual inspection — A quick check of the gauge, pin, seal, and physical condition. Building staff can do this without certification, but it still needs to be logged.Annual maintenance — A full internal/external check performed by a certified technician (that's us). This confirms the unit is fully charged, mechanically sound, and code-compliant.6-year internal maintenance — Required for stored-pressure extinguishers that carry a 12-year hydrostatic test interval (most dry chemical units). The extinguisher is emptied, examined internally, and recharged.Hydrostatic testing — A pressure test of the cylinder itself, done every 5 or 12 years depending on extinguisher type (see below).We handle the annual, 6-year, and hydrostatic tiers, as is required for a technician to perform. If needed, we'll set your business up with a simple monthly visual-inspection routine so you're covered on all four.
