Fire Extinguisher Sales & Service in Arlington
Extinguisher Installation for Arlington Buildings
We size and place extinguishers for the way your Arlington building is actually used: Class K units beside restaurant cooking lines, ABC units along office corridors and garage levels, and CO2 or clean-agent units near server and electrical rooms. Every unit is mounted at the right height and within NFPA 10 travel distance, so it passes the fire marshal’s walk-through the first time.
Annual Extinguisher Inspection in Arlington
Our technicians inspect every extinguisher floor by floor, replace missing pins and seals, update the annual tag, and give you a location-by-location report. For high-rise offices and apartment buildings in Rosslyn, Ballston and Crystal City, we work with your property manager on building access and freight elevators so the visit does not disrupt tenants.
6-Year Maintenance, Recharge and Hydro Testing
Stored-pressure dry chemical extinguishers need an internal 6-year maintenance and a 12-year hydrostatic test; CO2 and water units are hydro tested every 5 years. We track those dates for your whole Arlington inventory, recharge units after use, and swap out anything that fails so you are never left short.
