Fire Extinguisher Inspection

Required regular maintenance includes checking pressure levels, inspecting hoses and seals, and refilling or replacing extinguishers as needed. With our comprehensive fire extinguisher service, you can stay compliant with safety regulations and be confident that your extinguishers are ready to use when needed.

Backflow System Inspection

Backflow system inspection is a critical part of maintaining a safe and compliant fire protection system. In fire sprinkler setups, backflow preventers stop contaminated water from flowing backward into the public water supply—a major health and safety risk.

These devices must be inspected annually in accordance with Washington State regulations and local codes enforced by jurisdictions such as the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority. During an inspection, certified technicians test the assembly’s valves, check for proper pressure levels, and confirm that the system prevents reverse flow.

At Northwest Fire Systems, we provide professional backflow inspections for commercial and multi-residential properties across Kent, WA, and the Puget Sound region, keeping your system up to code and your water supply protected.
