Fire Damper Inspection, Reporting, and Certification

Ensuring that the fire damper in your home or business is working correctly is essential to your safety. And at John’s Service and Sales, our trained technicians are certified to test and inspect multiple types of dampers.

We keep damper inspection reports for all fire damper installations within your buildings, enabling the manager to see at a glance how many dampers they have and where they are. Adhering to all fire code compliance standards, John’s Service and Sales specializes in inspection and is certified in fire damper installation. 

Our technicians visually inspect all dampers in accordance with the testing schedule outlined by NFPA 80 (National Fire Protection Association). This standard regulates the installation and maintenance of assemblies and devices used to protect openings in walls, floors, and ceilings against the spread of fire and smoke. 

John’s Service and Sales offers damper inspections and testing that help keep your facility compliant with local and state building codes.

We also provide a comprehensive damper inspection report that notes all the significant information about each device in a facility.

Fire dampers perform a crucial role in the fire safety system of a building. Without this sturdy form of fire protection, your business could be in flames in a matter of minutes. 

Ductwork plays a vital role in controlling the spread of fire and smoke throughout a building. Once the damper in your ductwork system detects that the room temperature has risen to about 165°F due to the heat from a fire, a fusible link attached to the damper melts, resulting in the damper doors shutting and ultimately smothering the fire.

We offer custom fabrication of your ductwork system to ensure your business is equipped with the right damper.

There are two types of dampers: dynamic and static. Dynamic fire dampers are placed in vertical walls where the HVAC system fan will stay on in the event of a fire. This particular type of fire protector is equipped with a spring door that’s forced shut if there’s a fire. The HVAC system fan remains on, causing the air pressure to close the door. 

Static dampers are located in barriers of the HVAC system. Unlike the dynamic fire dampers, this type of HVAC fire damper prevents the spread of a fire by the fan shutting off, allowing for no air pressure and causing the damper door to fall due to gravity.

We also offer other HVAC services for both residential and commercial customers.
