WHAT IT IS

What Is Fire Hydrant Testing?

Fire hydrant testing confirms that hydrants deliver adequate water flow and pressure in the event of a fire. This ensures emergency services can access a reliable water supply when needed.

Our service includes checking hydrant flow rate and pressure, verifying operational functionality, inspecting for corrosion, leaks, or blockages, and ensuring hydrants are clearly visible and correctly marked.

Regular testing helps protect lives and minimise property damage.

TESTING FREQUENCY

How Often Should Fire Hydrant Testing Be Carried Out?

Flow and pressure testing should be completed at least once per year to ensure performance reliability. Inspection and maintenance checks are typically recommended once or twice annually, depending on site risk and usage.

Hydrant painting and marking should also be reviewed periodically to ensure visibility and correct identification. Regular testing supports fire safety compliance and helps maintain insurance requirements.
