Dry Riser

What is a Dry Riser?

A Dry Riser is a system of galvanized pipework normally rising vertically with valves on each floor to enable the Fire Service to quickly and effectively stop the spread of a fire potentially saving lives and property. 

Why should testing and on-going maintenance be carried out?

The person responsible for a building or site is legally required to maintain all fire fighting equipment, including dry & wet risers. It is also a condition of your insurance policy and could result in your insurance policy becoming Null & Void. Often buildings such as large blocks of flats are targeted by criminals and vandals who remove and damage parts of the dry risers rendering them potentially useless in the event of fire. Systems that are not maintained are at risk of parts becoming ceased or may fail under pressure. Don’t wait today and get your dry riser tested!

How often should a dry riser be tested?

BS9990: 2015 requires dry risers to be tested under pressure annually with a visual inspection every six months.
We schedule service visits bi-annually for maintenance and are split into two types of service visit:

Major Service
  • Full maintenance check & inspect of all parts of the system for compliance with BS9990:2015
  • Fully open and close each landing valve and grease mechanical workings
  • Replace any worn or missing parts including washers, straps, padlocks, gaskets etc.
  • Charge the system with water and pressurise to 12 Bar
  • Monitor for a period of no less than 15 minutes
  • Drain all water from the system and replace seals, caps and plugs
  • Provide a detailed test report and certificate
Minor Service
  • All of the above without the pressure test
