Damper Inspections

Fire and smoke dampers are a critical part of a building’s passive fire protection, yet many remain uninspected for long periods. Securus performs NFPA 80 and NFPA 105-compliant inspections of fire and smoke dampers for hospitals, schools, industrial sites, and other high-occupancy facilities throughout Illinois.
