Complete pump room inspection for buildings — fire pumps, water supply, booster systems. Vibration analysis, shaft alignment verification, performance evaluation. CREA-licensed mechanical engineer with ART-backed inspection reports.
Pump rooms are the heart of a building's water supply, fire protection, and drainage systems. Regular inspection ensures reliability when it matters most.
A fire pump that fails during an emergency renders the entire fire protection system useless. Sprinklers, hydrants, and standpipes depend on reliable pump performance. Regular inspection is the only way to guarantee readiness.
We cover all pump types and systems found in building pump rooms — from fire protection to water supply, drainage, and HVAC.
Jockey pumps, main electric fire pumps, and diesel fire pumps. Start-up sequence, flow rate, discharge pressure, automatic transfer switch, weekly run test verification per ABNT NBR 13714.
Domestic water pressurization pumps, hydropneumatic tanks, pressure switches, VFD controllers. Performance testing, cycling frequency analysis, and pressure stability verification.
Submersible and dry-pit sewage pumps, stormwater drainage pumps, sump pumps. Float switch calibration, impeller condition, motor insulation testing, and capacity verification.
Chilled water, hot water, and condenser water circulation pumps. Flow rate, differential pressure, seal condition, bearing temperature, and system balancing verification.
Process pumps, chemical feed pumps, cooling tower pumps, and transfer pumps. Material compatibility, seal integrity, performance curves, and safety compliance per NR-12.
Vibration spectrum analysis per ISO 10816, bearing condition monitoring, shaft alignment verification (laser/dial), coupling inspection, and dynamic balancing assessment.
Suction strainer condition, check valve and isolation valve operation, pressure gauge calibration, pump room ventilation, emergency power switchover, control panel wiring, corrosion assessment, and seismic anchorage where applicable.

A comprehensive pump house inspection covers all pumping equipment in the pump room: fire pumps (jockey, main electric, and diesel), water booster pumps, sewage and drainage pumps, condensate and HVAC pumps. The inspection includes vibration analysis per ISO 10816, shaft alignment verification, electrical connection assessment, piping integrity check, foundation and mounting condition, suction and discharge pressure testing, flow rate measurement, valve operation, control panel functionality, and backup power activation. All findings are documented in an ART-backed technical report issued by a CREA-licensed engineer.
Fire pump inspections are mandatory under ABNT NBR 13714 (fire hydrant and mangotinho systems) and ABNT NBR 10897 (sprinkler systems), which require periodic testing and maintenance of fire pump systems. These inspections are also required for AVCB/CLCB (fire department permit) issuance and renewal. For water booster and sewage pumps, building codes and condominium regulations typically require regular inspection to ensure reliable operation. Insurance policies also frequently mandate pump system inspection reports as a condition for coverage.
We inspect all pump types found in building pump rooms: fire pumps (jockey pumps, main electric fire pumps, diesel fire pumps), water supply and booster pumps (pressurization systems for domestic water), sewage and drainage pumps (submersible and dry-pit), condensate return pumps, HVAC chilled/hot water circulation pumps, and industrial process pumps. Our inspection covers centrifugal, positive displacement, submersible, and vertical turbine pump configurations.
Fire pumps should be tested weekly (brief run test) and receive a comprehensive inspection annually per ABNT NBR 13714 and NFPA 20 guidelines. Water booster pumps are typically inspected annually. Sewage pumps should be inspected every 6–12 months depending on usage. Vibration analysis is recommended annually or whenever abnormal noise or performance degradation is detected. The ART-backed inspection report establishes the recommended re-inspection interval based on equipment condition.
Yes. We deliver bilingual documentation — the official inspection report and ART in Portuguese (as required by Brazilian authorities) plus an English translation for your corporate records. All communication during the inspection process is conducted in English.
