Privately Owned
Fire Hydrant Inspection
Our team of certified water professionals will inspect, maintain, repair and re-certify any fire hydrant on private property within Western Canada based on the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requirements, and your Provincial Fire Codes.
In addition, we incorporate the guidelines of the Fire Underwriters of Canada Survey (FUS), a set of protocols that offer a more detailed and stringent approach to fire hydrant safety, especially tailored to the challenges posed by Canada's colder climate.
As per NFPA, Private Fire Hydrants are required to be inspected annually, and after each unintended operation.

Private
Fire Hydrant Services
At Velocity, we offer specialized services for privately owned firewater systems, ensuring they meet private fire hydrant requirements and Provincial Fire Codes.
Private Hydrant Testing
Regular testing of private fire hydrants is crucial to ensure they function correctly and adhere to both NFPA standards and the more detailed requirements of the Fire Underwriters of Canada Survey (FUS). Our team conducts thorough assessments, including a complete flush, to clear any foreign materials and verify the hydrant's operational integrity.
Fire Hydrant Repair
If issues are identified during our testing process, Velocity Water Services is equipped to handle all necessary repairs promptly and efficiently. Whether it's routine wear and tear or specific compliance issues, our skilled technicians ensure your private fire hydrants are repaired to meet the highest standards of safety.
Semi-Annual
Hydrant Inspections
A scheduled preventive maintenance program is also the best way of avoiding large, unexpected costs associated with reactive maintenance. During our cold Canadian winters, fire hydrants can freeze. Although fire hydrants used in Canada are designed to resist freezing, completing a maintenance inspection in the fall is your best protection against potential winter freezing.
If a hydrant is found to not comply with NFPA preventive freezing standards, Velocity Water Services can perform the maintenance alteration required to fix the issue.
