A comprehensive Fire Escape inspection involves a detailed review of the egress system, which is integral to the evacuation process. This inspection encompasses all components, such as stairs, platforms, and supports, to identify any areas requiring maintenance or repair to ensure functionality. Inspectors may examine the integrity of welds, the presence of missing bolts, or any damaged or rusted elements. Additionally, they assess the condition of walls, supports, and paint. The inspection also includes checking for any obstructions along the escape route that could hinder a safe exit to a public way.
Load Test, also known as a performance test, is a procedure that determines how a system behaves under normal and peak workloads. The main purpose of a load test is to confirm that a system can handle the expected load level. Load testing is often used and/or required by many cities and states before or after a repair project.
Repairs is a basic restoration work that addresses damage or broken parts of the Fire Escape caused by normal wear and tear. They can include a wide variety of tasks such as: Fixing connections and removing excessive rust, Repairing damaged connection with wall, Replacing hardware (bolts), and Painting. This process will ensure the integrity of the system and a safe usage
Steps we take to prepare for and complete a paint job: Clean the surface: May be required a power wash to remove dust and grime so the paint can adhere properly. Remove damaged paint: Scrape to remove cracked or peeling paint. Apply primer: Primer improves paint adhesion and gives a smooth finish. Caulk: Caulking joints as well as cracks or gaps, helps prevent chipping and flaking. Paint the 'cuts" first: This allows for more room for error around the edges. Apply the topcoat using a sprayer, and small rollers or brushes to complete the paint job
The process for obtaining a certificate upon job completion can differ across states. You must file an affidavit with your city official or the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). A stamped affidavit from a duly licensed builder, a registered architect, or a registered engineer will be accepted by officials. For further details, reach out to your local city official.
