Our Commercial Building Inspection Report includes an examination of the rated fire separations , with written report that includes pictures detailing general condition, observed penetrations and recommendations for repairs or replacement.

 

Inspect the following to identify type, material, condition, safety concerns and other issues to missing fire separations, missing fire dampers, missing or in-operative door closers, penetrations through rated systems and missing fire stopping. We also evaluate the fire separation to ensure it meets the rated requirement for various occupancies. Typically a restaurant with seating less than 30 will only need one hour rating while the same restaurant with seating for 35 would require a 2 hour separation from a office occupancy.

 

We perform a visual inspection of all the rated walls, floors and structural supports..

 

All deficiencies are included with picture and written report listing type of deficiencies and recommended course of action to rectify.
