6 STEPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL FIRE DAMPER INSPECTION
2

Know Your Timeline Every standard building needs
a fire damper inspection after every 4 years
except hospitals that require inspection after
every 6years. If your building is new, or has
undergone renovation, a fire damper should be
inspected one year after installation.
3

Find your last report Having your previous
report in hand will make the process of fire
damper maintenance easier. Your previous report
will show how many smoke, fire or fire/smoke
dampers need repair. This will give you an idea
about how long the damper will last and which
dampers have been updated.
4

Secure Life Safety Maps Life safety maps will
make the inspection easier. Without maps, it
would take more time to find and test each
damper. When there are maps available, the
technician can know where to look and can finish
the job quickly.
5

Schedule The Inspection Having your inspection
scheduled in advance will make your work easier.
Having set the date and time of your inspection,
will ensure that no other project is there to
obstruct your inspection.
6

Schedule Repairs If any of the damper is not
working properly, dont delay for its repair. A
faulty damper should not be delayed for its
repair. Often, contractors have replacement parts
on hand and are able to repairs in case of any
damage. This saves your time and money by making
repairs at hand.
7

Prepare Documentation Proper documentation is
required after a damper inspection. Documentation
is required and should be detailed that should
include the date of inspection, how many dampers
were inspected, etc. This documentation is a
proof of your fire damper maintenance.
