Commercial Fire Protection Services in Dexter

The commercial mix in Dexter includes a small but growing downtown plus business-park tenants in light manufacturing and professional services. We match extinguisher type, size, and placement to the actual hazards in your space instead of applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Fire Extinguisher Inspection, Tagging and Recharge

Annual documented inspection and certification tagging for every extinguisher in your Dexter building. We check pressure, hoses, pull pins, seals, mounting height and travel distances, then recharge, service or replace any unit that fails. Hydrostatic testing is coordinated when a cylinder reaches its interval.

Fire Extinguisher Sales and Installation

Commercial-grade ABC dry chemical units in 5 and 10 lb sizes, CO₂ extinguishers for electrical and server rooms, Class K units for commercial kitchens, and specialty agents where the hazard calls for it. We mount everything at code-compliant heights per NFPA 10 and your local Dexter fire code, with proper signage.

Emergency Lighting Inspection and Testing

Annual functional testing of every fixture, including the full 90-minute battery load test required under NFPA 101. We replace weak and failed batteries, repair fixtures, and upgrade older units to LED to cut maintenance calls.

Exit Sign Installation, Repair and Replacement

Code-compliant placement and wiring, LED replacements, combination exit and emergency light units, and repairs to bulbs, batteries, and housings throughout your Dexter facility.

Fire Code and OSHA Compliance Programs

OSHA safety signage, monthly inspection walk-through programs, and ongoing preventative maintenance with the documentation to back it up. We keep your records organized so a compliance check is a non-event.

Fire Code Compliance Requirements for Dexter Businesses

Commercial properties in Dexter and the rest of Washtenaw County are subject to the Michigan Fire Prevention Code along with locally adopted standards. In practice, that means a few recurring obligations:

  • Annual extinguisher maintenance. Every portable extinguisher needs a documented yearly inspection by a qualified professional, with a dated tag on the unit.
  • Monthly visual checks. Your staff should confirm each month that extinguishers are in place, unobstructed, and showing proper pressure. We provide the log sheets.
  • Hydrostatic testing. Cylinders require pressure testing at set intervals based on type, typically every 5 or 12 years.
  • 90-minute emergency lighting test. Emergency lights must stay illuminated for a full 90 minutes on battery, verified annually and documented.
  • Illuminated, unobstructed exit signage. Exit paths must be marked and lit, including during a power failure.

Failing any of these can mean a re-inspection, a citation, or an insurance problem after a loss. Keeping up with them is inexpensive by comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fire Extinguisher Service in Dexter

How often do fire extinguishers need to be inspected in Dexter?

Portable fire extinguishers require a documented annual maintenance inspection by a qualified professional, plus a quick visual check by your own staff each month. Extinguishers also need periodic hydrostatic testing depending on the type of cylinder. We handle the annual inspection and tagging and coordinate hydrostatic testing when a unit is due.

What does a fire inspector in Dexter typically look for?

Inspectors commonly check that extinguishers are present, mounted at the correct height, unobstructed, fully charged, and carrying a current inspection tag. They also look at emergency lighting, exit sign illumination, and whether your monthly inspection records are being kept. We address all of those items in one visit.

Do you service emergency lighting and exit signs too?

Yes. We perform annual functional testing including the required 90-minute battery load test on emergency lighting, replace weak or failed batteries, repair or replace exit signs, and upgrade older fixtures to LED where it makes sense.

Can you service my extinguishers without shutting down my business?

In almost every case, yes. Inspections are quick and we schedule around your operating hours. For restaurants and kitchens in Dexter, we can often work between service periods.
