Licenses and Certifications

C-16 Fire Protection License

California licensed fire protection contractor for the design, installation, inspection, testing, and repair of commercial fire sprinkler and suppression systems throughout California. CSLB #646854.

AWWA Backflow Certification

American Water Works Association certified backflow technicians for testing, repair, installation, and certification of backflow prevention devices on fire sprinkler water service connections.

Fire sprinkler system types

Wet pipe systems

The most common commercial fire sprinkler system — pipes are filled with water at all times and discharge immediately when a sprinkler head activates

Dry pipe systems

Pipes are filled with pressurized air or nitrogen — used in areas subject to freezing where wet pipe systems are not suitable

Pre-action systems

Require two triggering events before water is released — commonly used in data centers, museums, and facilities where accidental discharge would cause significant damage

Deluge systems

All sprinkler heads are open and water is released simultaneously across the entire system — used in high-hazard areas requiring rapid suppression

Stand pipe systems

Vertical piping systems that provide water supply for fire hoses in multi-story commercial and industrial buildings

Backflow protection

AWWA-certified backflow preventer installation, testing, and certification for fire sprinkler water service connections
