How Often Are Fire Sprinkler Inspections Required in Fort Wayne?
NFPA 25 sets a tiered inspection schedule enforced by the Fort Wayne AHJ:
1. Quarterly: Waterflow alarm devices, supervisory signal devices, fire department connections, and control valve positions. Main drain tests are also required quarterly on systems with backflow preventers or pressure-reducing valves.
2. Annually: Technicians evaluate every sprinkler head for corrosion, loading, or damage; test main drain pressure; inspect pipe hangers and seismic bracing; verify spare sprinkler head cabinets; and review alarm connections. A full documentation package is produced.
3. Every 5 Years: Internal inspection of sprinkler piping for obstructions and microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), gauge replacement, and hydrostatic pressure testing of dry-pipe and pre-action systems. This cycle most often surfaces significant corrective action items, especially in older Allen County warehouse and multi-family properties.
Many Fort Wayne commercial facilities operate dry-pipe systems suited to Indiana's cold winters. These systems require additional weekly gauge pressure checks and are especially susceptible to MIC, making the 5-year internal inspection critical.

Every inspection follows a documented, NFPA 25-aligned process from arrival to report delivery:
