Fire Sprinkler Maintenance FAQs
How often should sprinklers be inspected?
Routine checks are weekly, with fuller inspections periodically under SANS 10287 and insurer rules. Your contractor should give you a schedule.
Can storage affect my sprinklers?
Yes. Goods stacked too close to heads block the spray and can affect insurance.
