Why You Must Hire a Licensed Fire and Smoke Stopping Service

Not every one is professionally trained and licensed to meet the high standards set forth by the government when it comes to local code compliance. At KM Facility Services, we know that lives depend upon the work being done efficiently. Also, there are an abundant of products on the market used for fire and smoke penetration sealing, but not all of them meet the required standards of protection. That is why a licensed professional can only guarantee that all fire and penetration sealing will hold with integrity against a catastrophe.

How Fire and Smoke Penetrating Sealing Works

Fire and smoke penetration sealing is intended to preserve life and property. This is performed by licensed professionals creating fire-resistant compartments throughout the building, making the spread of smoke and fire near impossible. When contractors build a complex and other professionals such as electricians, computer specialist and digital services get involved, breaches in walls, ceilings and floors are created. These small breaches allow the passing of air between surfaces, and if a fire begins, the spread of smoke and fire cannot be contained. Fire stopping enables us to block passageways that allow smoke and fire to spread. In turn, this allows those inside the facility to run for safety while keeping integral sections of the building from suffering smoke and fire damage or complete loss.

Fire Stopping Services Are Required by Law

Only a Licensed Professional Can Guarantee Safety

An approved fire-stopping professional knows where to look for little breaches that can cause fire and smoke to pass through a building or complex quickly, and eradicate the threat. Unleveled flooring, gaps in walls and ceilings and drilled holes in walls or floors by contractors of cabling and electrical crews can render serious concern when it comes to your safety. A good design always permits fire and smoke protection services. All of our services meet governing standards and requirements, as well as comply with local codes to keep your investment safe. There may be a lot of DIY projects that you can offer when building or maintaining your investment, but fire and smoke penetration sealing is not one of them.

We Restore Fire Resistant Structures

As mentioned before, during construction many contractors drill holes in fire resistant rated walls, floors, ceilings, and other structures of the project. These are all required for cable, plumbing, and needed services, but leave behind a threat of fire spreading rapidly. Our goal at KM Facility Services is to restore any damage left behind by drilling holes and creating gaps, and in doing so we bring the project up to required fire codes. It is the law in Arizona to ensure that your building is safe from the spread of fire.

What Kind of Products Are Needed in Fire Stopping?

For one, keep in mind that all the products available on the market today are not entirely safe. At KM Facility Services, we take pride in our product knowledge and strive always to use products that are GREEN and safe. If a substandard product is used in repairing breaches, the structure is left at risks for a complete catastrophe. Professional fire and smoke sealing services prevent fire and smoke from spreading throughout the complex and offer valuable time for escape. This is not the time to use substandard products that fail to meet required codes.

Why Are Ongoing Fire Stopping Services Necessary?

Once a building has occupants, wires get moved, new holes are drilled for cable or computer services and other needs. Before you know it, there is a breach created that will allow smoke and fire to enter the area. That is why ongoing fire and smoke penetration sealing is needed to keep everyone safe and to save an investor millions should a disaster incur.

It’s Critical to Ensure Safety to Both Life and Property

Fire rated floors, walls and ceiling assemblies must be maintained to reduce the risks of a fire spreading throughout your commercial building. Without fire and smoke sealing maintenance, simple penetrations often caused by building services become a critical factor in the overall susceptibility of your investment. Fire and smoke penetration services assist in keeping the fire contained to the area where it originated, giving those inside an opportunity to escape and those fighting the fire, most likely firemen, an opportunity to contain it quickly before it spreads to the entire complex.

Fire and Smoke Stopping Is Mandatory by Law

New construction sites often have many crevices, holes or other penetrations in the walls, floors and ceilings allowing smoke and fire to spread fast.

Inadequate Fire Stopping Lends To High Risks

When seeking a Fire Stopping Service Company, make sure you take a look at their track record. In 1996, the famous 30 Rockefeller Plaza Building in New York, experienced a fire that soon spread to five different locations, simply because the fire stopping services hired to do the job, failed to stop the fire due to the poor services rendered.  Unprotected vertical and horizontal penetration caused a rapid move of smoke and fire throughout the building. The fire started in the electrical room and moved out to other areas, according to the FPA (Fire Protection Association). The company hired to conduct the Fire and Smoke Penetration Sealing failed to do the job right, leaving the multimillion dollar complex with extreme damages and risking lives in the process. Ask the fire stopping service company for referrals, and check out their track record before hiring them.
