FIRE PROTECTION PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
From independent consultancy to your single-source life safety vendor. We coordinate, inspect, and maintain every system in your portfolio.
Your Only Fire & Life Safety Vendor
Overwatch Fire is fully equipped to manage your entire life safety systems directly. We provide licensed, professional service in Sprinklers, Alarms, Backflows, and Fire Extinguishers under one unified standard of safety.
By consolidating your site’s maintenance under our Strategic Advocacy Program, we eliminate the friction of managing multiple specialized contractors. We don't just perform the work; we manage the lifecycle of your equipment to ensure you stay ahead of the Fire Marshal—not just reacting to them.
Our package plans are designed for asset managers who need predictable overhead and total compliance. Whether you are managing a single facility or a multi-site portfolio, our oversight ensures that every inspection, repair, and certification is handled with professional onsite representation and rigorous quality control.
ITM SERVICESThe Operator Path
Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance (ITM) is the mechanical foundation of life safety. While code compliance is the requirement, system readiness is the mission.
As your licensed service partner, Overwatch self-performs high-precision ITM across all major fire protection systems. We bridge the gap between regulatory mandates and real-world reliability.
THE OVERWATCH ADVANTAGE
Technical Transparency
We provide absolute clarity on system health. No hidden "bundled" repairs or ambiguous reporting—just raw technical data and honest assessments.
Licensed Execution
Every inspection is performed by state-licensed technicians specialized in their respective fields (Alarms, Sprinklers, Backflow, and FEX).
Digital Accountability
Your compliance data is centralized and digitally tracked. Access reports, asset histories, and upcoming service cycles instantly through our portal.
Zero-Gap Readiness
Our goal isn't just a passed inspection; it's mechanical readiness. We ensure your systems function as intended the moment they are needed.
FIRE SPRINKLERSystems & ITM Protocol
Main Drain Test
Annual verification that water supply is unrestricted.
Valve Stewardship
Control valves must be locked and mechanically sound.
5-Year Internal
Deep mechanical audit to identify corrosion or debris.
Standard for finished ceilings. Deflects water downward.
Used in mechanical rooms where exposed piping is common.
Ideal for corridors where overhead piping is restricted.
The mechanical command center. Controls water flow.
Exterior inlet for fire crews to pump supplemental water.
Wet Pipe System
Water is always present in the pipes. Fastest response time.
Dry Pipe System
Filled with pressurized air. Engineered for unheated areas.
BACKFLOWPrevention & Certified Testing
Protecting the public water supply through technical precision. Overwatch provides certified annual testing, mechanical auditing, and high-hazard repair across Washington State.
Measuring pressure drops with calibrated gauges to verify back-siphonage protection.
Ensuring RPZ relief valves discharge correctly to prevent line pollution.
Real-time reporting to water purveyors to clear compliance deadlines immediately.
Standard protection for low-hazard lines like Fire Sprinklers and Irrigation.
High-hazard protection for chemical lines. Dumps water if internal failure occurs.
Calibrated 5-valve gauge used to measure precise pressure drops.
Insulated housing designed to shield assemblies from freezing and vandalism.
Double Check (DCVA)
Low Hazard: Used for substances that are objectionable but not a health threat.
Reduced Pressure (RPZ)
Critical Hazard: Relief valve dumps water if check fails, preventing backflow at all costs.
- Class K Mandate within 30ft
- Verification of Hood Interlocks
- Strict Travel Distance Limits
- Mandatory 30-Day Quick Checks
- MRI-Conditional Units
- OR Clean Agent requirements

FIRE ALARMSystems & ITM Protocol
The "Brain" of your facility's safety infrastructure. Overwatch provides comprehensive NFPA 72 inspections, smoke sensitivity testing, and emergency signal verification.
Anatomy of an NFPA 72 Test
Verify system mechanical readiness moves beyond simple visual audits. Overwatch technicians execute rigorous functional testing protocols.
Verifying primary power supplies and testing backup battery load capacity.
Ensuring smoke detectors activate within mandated NFPA ranges.
Simulating alarm signals to verify sub-60 second Central Station reception.
The "Brain" of the system. Monitors inputs and triggers alarms.
Automatic sensor that detects smoke particles.
Allows occupants to manually trigger a general fire alarm.
ADA-compliant strobes and horns for rapid evacuation.
Triggers on high temps. Ideal for dusty environments.
Conventional
Hardware-based systems that divide building into generic "Zones."
Addressable
Each device has a unique digital ID for instant identification.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERCompliance & Mechanical Integrity
The first line of defense. Overwatch manages the complex, multi-year mechanical lifecycles of your extinguisher fleet—ensuring every unit is pressurized, certified, and ready for immediate deployment.
Anatomy of the ITM Lifecycle
While standard units follow 6 and 12-year cycles, specialized CO2 and Wet Chemical units require hydrostatic testing every 5 years.
Professional mechanical audit and physical tag update.
Internal check & agent recharge. Year 5 for CO2; Year 6 for ABC.
Cylinder integrity testing. Every 5 or 12 years depending on shell type.
Wood, paper, and trash hazards.
Standard multi-hazard unit for offices.
Non-conductive agent for electronics.
Specialized agent for industrial metal fires.
High-heat grease fires in commercial cooking.
Stored Pressure
The standard unit where gas and agent are stored together. Requires constant pressure gauge monitoring.
Cartridge Operated
Industrial-grade units with gas in a separate external cartridge. Designed for harsh environments.
