Houston Private Fire Service Mains
A private service main, describes the way the fire protection system is connected from the local water supply, through the private service main into the risers of your fire protection system. This underground work should be performed by actively State licensed fire sprinkler companies, contractors and/or fire safety engineers in Houston.
Hydrostatic tests may be required to ensure your fire sprinkler system has the proper pressure ratings.
