FAQ
1
How often should a fire escape be inspected?
Fire Escape need to be certified every five years by law. If your fire escape hasn’t been evaluated recently—or shows rust, movement, or loose connections—schedule a professional inspection before violations are issued.
2
Do you help with violations and deadlines?
Yes. We help owners and managers respond to citations with clear documentation, repair scope, and a plan designed to meet inspector expectations and address deadlines efficiently.
3
Can a fire escape be certified if it has rust?
Light surface corrosion may be manageable, but corrosion at anchors, connections, or structural members often requires repair before certification. A compliance-first inspection clarifies what’s cosmetic versus structural.
