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 We Offer
Dry Riser Systems
According to BS9990:2015, you must conduct one visual inspection and one full pressure test per year. OHEAP will help streamline this process for you. At OHEAP, we can ensure that your dry riser system is thoroughly inspected, tested, and certified.
These regulations are intended to ensure that dry risers are both functional and reliable.
OHEAP Fire & Security will inspect, test and service your dry riser system to ensure it is in full working order in the event of an emergency. Without the correct amount and flow of water, tackling a fire can be difficult, dangerous and often impossible. But a correctly maintained dry riser system can provide critical fire safety cover for high-rise floors.

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. Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure that dry riser systems operate effectively during a fire emergency. Skipping maintenance checks can lead to numerous adverse outcomes, each with serious implications.
If there isn’t enough water flow or pressure on high floors, in the event of a fire, it can lead to serious and often tragic consequences. Maintaining a dry riser system is a cost-effective way of ensuring life preservation is possible – make sure your building and its occupants are all fully protected in the event of a fire.
