Critical Life Safety Protection: Firestopping
S&W Waterproofing is an industry expert at firestopping. We are an FM Certified company and have extensive training in selecting the proper products and installing them according to listed UL design assemblies.
We know that managing fire barriers throughout the life of your facility is a daunting job when existing barriers are altered, and new penetrations are made. However, because lives depend on your maintaining this critical protection, you cannot afford even one slip-up or oversight.
Ensure Building Safety and Compliance
If you manage a hospital, nursing home, apartment complex, or institutional facility of any kind, we will help you maintain life safety standards and building code requirements. Some areas where firestopping is applied are:
- Electrical through-penetrations
- Mechanical through-penetrations
- Structural through-penetrations
- Rated walls and floors
- Voice and data penetrations
- Top of wall joints
- Unpenetrated openings
- Floor to exterior wall as required by current code
S&W Waterproofing will document the type and location of penetrates for The Joint Commission Inspections and for other life safety requirements. This gives peace of mind to the building owner that proper firestopping techniques and materials were utilized in accordance with all state and local building codes. We can also help you with renovation and remodeling projects.
Call S&W Waterproofing today, and we will be happy to provide a consultation and offer the best solution for your project. Owners and contractors will see long-term cost savings for a facility’s life safety needs and the assurance that their building is safe and compliant.
