Dry riser systems allow for the local fire service to pump water from ground level into certain areas of the property in order to quickly bring a fire under control. The utilisation of a dry riser allows fire fighters to get water to internal areas of a property without the need to drag a hose to the required location, which can often mean going up flights of stairs. The system works by the fire service connecting their fire engine's hose to the dry riser inlet that will then send the water to the area through a built-in pipe that normally contains compressed air. Our Glasgow fire alarms installers have expert knowledge on the industry and can guide and advise you on any enquiry you may have.

For buildings that are over 18 metres tall it is a legal requirement that either a dry or wet riser is installed within the property so that water can be easily distributed to high level areas with ease. As with any fire prevention system, a dry riser requires professional maintenance to ensure continued protection, so our expert team are always on hand to provide detailed inspection.
