Fire Damper and Smoke Damper Repair and Installation
As part of Life Safety Services’ (LSS) goal to not only meet but exceed the needs of our clients LSS provides damper repair services as a complement to our fire and smoke damper inspection services. Who better to perform the repairs on your facility’s fire and smoke dampers than the Leader in Fire and Smoke Damper Inspections?
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) states:
- NFPA 80 (Fire Dampers) – Section 19.5.3 “If the damper is not operable, repairs shall begin
without delay.”
- NFPA 105 (Smoke Dampers) – Section 6.6.3 “If the damper is not operable, repairs shall begin as soon as possible.”
Life Safety Services’ technicians not only are familiar with the multitude of fire and smoke dampers that are in existence through their detailed damper inspection experience but have been through extensive in-house training as well as damper repair and smoke damper actuator repair training through major manufacturers, such as Belimo, Lloyds, Ruskin and Greenheck. Few companies can bring to the client the mix of training and field experience that Life Safety Services can offer.
