We have mandated fire sprinkler install on all new construction and also on remodels and additions.


Remodel trigger is when over 1/2 of the total surface of drywall is removed.

Additions is when 1/3 of the total original sf is added.



I do NOT inspect any but do note that they are present and suggest that they contact the fire dept to test the system for them (it’s free).
