Fire Hydrant Repair & Testing in Calgary & Area
Fire hydrants are an essential part of property safety measures. It is mandatory for the owners of commercial buildings and condominiums with fire hydrants on private property to get them tested annually. This is to ensure that the fire hydrant is operating efficiently and that it has not frozen or been damaged over the winter months.
In Calgary, winter months can especially inflict some serious damage on the hydrants. It is recommended that spring testing is done every year, as well as a thorough check in the fall prior to the freezing season to ensure that the hydrant is operable. At Remi’s Mechanical Services Ltd, we provide comprehensive fire hydrant inspection services and facilitate repairs in case of any problems or damage. We explain our process and progress to our clients so they can always stay in the loop and take better care of their fire hydrants henceforth.
