Fire Pump Services in Northern California
When municipal water systems can’t provide adequate pressure to meet the design requirements of a fire sprinkler system, building owners and managers install fire pumps as a solution. High-rise buildings and structures with relatively high-pressure needs are often outfitted with pumps for this reason.
If your business uses a fire pump, maintenance, repairs, inspections, and testing are all necessary parts of keeping your building safe and staying compliant with local, state, and federal fire safety codes. Foothill Fire Protection is a full-service fire protection and safety systems company serving the greater Northern California area. Our fire protection team will ensure your fire pump works correctly when the need arises.

Does My Business Need a Fire Pump?
Fire pumps are critical to a building’s ability to suppress fires, but not all facilities need them. You likely need a fire pump if:
- Your building uses the municipality’s main water supply, but it doesn’t provide sufficient water pressure.
- Your building relies on a non-gravity water tank to store water for use in your sprinkler system.
- Your building is a high-rise or is too large for standard plumbing to provide adequate water pressure to your sprinkler system.
Fire Pump Inspections & Testing
Fire pumps are relatively simple functionally, but the process of inspecting and testing them is pretty complex. It requires in-depth knowledge and specialized skills to ensure a fire pump is in good operating conditions at all times and meets code requirements.
