Fire Stopping Inspections
Fire stopping inspections check the condition, quality, and compliance of your fire-stopping systems to ensure all penetrations are properly sealed, defects are caught early, and your building’s compartmentation works as intended in an emergency.

Why Fire Stopping Inspections Matter
Fire stopping is essential for maintaining proper compartmentation, which slows the spread of fire and smoke throughout a building. If fire stopping systems are damaged, missing, incorrectly installed, or altered over time, the building’s fire strategy can fail.
Regular inspections help ensure:
Penetrations and voids are properly sealed
Fire-resistant barriers remain intact
Compliance with Building Regulations and the Fire Safety Act
Improved safety for occupants and escape routes
Identification of high-risk areas before they become major issues
