Fire Pump Repair for Commercial Buildings

Expert Fire Pump Repair in North Carolina, South Carolina & Georgia

A reliable fire protection system is necessary to keep your building safe in case a blaze breaks out. One of the most important facets of building fire safety is having fire sprinklers installed, and no sprinkler system can work without a functioning fire pump.

Fire pumps occasionally require repairs to ensure proper functionality in an emergency. If you notice something wrong with your fire pump, call Unifour Fire & Safety to schedule a repair or request 24-hour emergency services.

What Do Fire Pumps Do?

A fire pump is a sprinkler system component. Its primary function is to ensure sufficient water pressure so that when sprinkler heads open, they deliver ample water to douse the blaze. You’re most likely to need a fire pump if your building is a high rise and the local municipal water system can’t provide sufficient pressure to meet the design requirements of your sprinkler system.

When a sprinkler head engages, the water starts flowing. The fire pump powers on automatically if the water pressure drops below a certain threshold. This can happen if multiple sprinkler heads open to douse a swiftly spreading fire. Water pressure can also drop if firefighters connect a hose to a fire hydrant to assist with extinguishing the blaze from outside the building.

When To Schedule Fire Pump Repair

The best way to keep your fire pump working properly is to schedule routine inspections and testing with Unifour Fire & Safety. Our services help you catch and repair problems early to ensure your fire pump is always ready.

Even if you follow the recommended maintenance schedule, it’s still possible for your fire pump to malfunction. After all, if one component stops working, the operation of the entire system could be in jeopardy. When your fire pump acts up, your swift response is crucial to prevent leaving your building vulnerable if there’s a fire.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs you need fire pump repair?

While some fire pump issues are only discovered during inspection, testing, and maintenance, if you notice any of these signs, it’s time to call in a professional fire protection company for emergency fire pump repair:

  • A sudden breakdown
  • Excessive vibration
  • Faulty pressure relief valves
  • Faulty automatic starting devices
  • Leaky pipes
  • Overheating


What causes a fire pump to overheat?

Overheating is a common fire pump problem. Causes include:

  • Damaged bearings
  • Clogged filters
  • Lack of lubrication
  • The wrong type of oil
  • A foreign object in the pump

If you suspect your fire pump is overheating, immediate action is necessary to avoid further damage.


When should I replace my fire pump?

Because they typically sit idle, people sometimes have a false sense of confidence that their fire pump will last for decades. However, a fire pump’s service life, no matter how often it springs into action, is about 20 years, assuming it’s been properly maintained.

Other reasons to replace a fire pump include hydraulic performance deterioration and component breakdown due to high moisture and damp environments.
