Every sprinklered commercial building in New Orleans is required to keep its system inspected and tested on the NFPA 25 schedule — quarterly device checks, a full annual inspection by qualified personnel, and internal pipe inspections every five years. The New Orleans fire marshal (your authority having jurisdiction) enforces that schedule, and most insurance carriers require proof of current inspections to keep coverage intact.

Fire protection is a licensed trade in Louisiana, so sprinkler inspection and testing work must be performed by a properly licensed contractor — many employ NICET-certified technicians. The listings below show license credentials where we have verified them, so you can check qualifications before you call.
