Dry Riser Servicing & Maintenance
Ensure your building’s firefighting systems are ready when needed most
Dry risers are a critical part of a building’s fire protection system, providing firefighters with immediate access to water on upper floors during an emergency. Like all life safety equipment, dry risers must be regularly inspected, tested, and maintained to ensure full compliance and operational readiness.
At Fireguard, we provide professional dry riser servicing, testing, and certification to help businesses meet legal requirements, reduce risk, and protect occupants and property.
Our inspections are carried out by certified fire safety professionals, including experienced firefighters and instructors.
What is a Dry Riser?
A dry riser is a system of pipework installed in buildings over 18 metres high, allowing fire services to pump water from ground level to upper floors quickly and efficiently.
The system typically includes:
- External inlet connection for fire service use
- Vertical pipework within the building
- Landing valves on each floor
- Pressure control and testing points
If not properly maintained, dry risers can fail during an emergency — putting lives, property, and compliance at risk.
