FAQ
Fire sprinkler FAQs — Oregon & Washington
Common questions from property managers and facility directors.
Are fire sprinklers required in commercial buildings in Oregon?
Most new commercial construction in Oregon requires fire sprinkler systems under the Oregon Structural Specialty Code. Requirements vary by building type, occupancy classification, and square footage. Your local AHJ determines specific requirements — we can help you understand what applies to your property.
How often do fire sprinkler systems need to be inspected in Oregon?
Per NFPA 25, fire sprinkler systems require monthly, quarterly, and annual inspections depending on system components. Annual testing of alarms, valves, and overall system performance is required. PDX Fire Protection handles all inspection intervals and keeps your records current.
What is a five-year sprinkler obstruction investigation?
NFPA 25 requires internal inspection of sprinkler piping every five years to check for obstructions like MIC (microbiologically influenced corrosion), scale, or debris that could block water flow. We perform obstruction investigations and document findings for your AHJ.
What codes apply to fire sprinkler systems in Oregon and Washington?
Installation is governed by NFPA 13, 13R, or 13D depending on building type. Inspection, testing, and maintenance is governed by NFPA 25. Local AHJs in Oregon and Washington enforce these standards and may have additional reporting requirements.
Do you repair fire sprinkler deficiencies the same day?
In many cases, yes. Our technicians carry common replacement parts and can address deficiencies found during inspection on the same visit. For larger repairs, we schedule follow-up quickly to minimize the window of non-compliance.
