Firestop

Firestopping prevents fire and toxic gas from traveling through a structure once a blaze has ignited. Designed into the structure of the building, a comprehensive firestopping strategy includes membrane and through penetration firestop systems, fire resistant joint systems, and perimeter fire barrier systems. These measures are critical in maintaining the integrity of fire-resistance-rated construction including fire walls, fire barriers, fire partitions, smoke barriers, and horizontal fire barrier assemblies.

Inspections by our experts confirm projects meet updated building code requirements for new and remodeled buildings, along with providing quality control and quality assurance for firestopping systems to meet all the necessary maintenance code requirements that are in place.

We employ the nation’s largest team of qualified firestop inspectors under one roof. All our inspectors at minimum areInternational Firestop Council (IFC) Special Inspector Certificate holders.
