How often does my fire suppression system need inspection?
−NFPA 17A requires semi-annual (every 6 months) inspection and maintenance. Some jurisdictions and insurance carriers require more frequent inspections. TruShine schedules and tracks your inspections automatically — you get reminders before you're due so you never miss a cycle or risk a code violation.
What brands does TruShine service?
−We provide brand-certified inspection and repair for Ansul, Amerex, Badger, Pyrochem, Buckeye, and Captive Aire — all major commercial kitchen fire suppression systems. Our technicians are trained on each manufacturer's specifications.
What happens if my system fails inspection?
+We identify the specific deficiencies, provide a detailed repair scope, and perform most repairs on-site during the same visit. Common issues include expired chemical agents, damaged nozzles, corroded piping, and fusible link failures. Everything is documented for your fire marshal records.
Can I bundle this with hood cleaning?
+Yes — and most clients do. Fire suppression inspection and hood cleaning address two sides of the same NFPA compliance requirement. Bundling both under one vendor eliminates scheduling conflicts and ensures your fire marshal sees coordinated documentation from one provider. This is the foundation of our Kitchen Protection Bundle.
