What are Dry Risers?
Dry Risers are fixed pipe systems installed in multi-storey buildings to provide firefighters with access to water at various levels. The system remains empty under normal conditions and is charged with water by the fire service during an incident.
- Inlet connection at ground level
- Vertical pipework within the building
- Landing valves and hose connections
- A secure cabinet housing the inlet
- Clearly marked dry riser outlet points
The dry riser outlet allows firefighters to connect hoses quickly and access water without running lines through stairwells.
Why dry riser servicing matters
A dry riser system must function flawlessly in an emergency.
This includes:
- Corrosion may weaken pipework
- Valves may seize
- Landing valves may leak
- Outlets may become obstructed
Our structured servicing programmes ensure your Dry Risers remain compliant, accessible and operational at all times.
