A dry riser is an essential firefighting system composed of pipes and valves, specifically designed to supply water to different floors of a building during a fire emergency. Unlike wet risers, which are continuously filled with water, dry risers remain empty until they are connected to a water source by firefighters. This system is particularly advantageous in high-rise buildings, where delivering water from ground level rapidly can be difficult.

What Happens if Maintenance is Missed?
Neglecting the maintenance of dry risers can have severe consequences, affecting not only property and financial stability but also human lives.
