Impairment services

Protecting your protection system


Being resilient means having property protection systems in place and ready to protect you. But what happens if your protection system experiences a glitch—or breaks down altogether?

If you do experience impairment at one of your facilities, every second counts. You need to react quickly to minimize the severity of a loss. FM's impairment services help you effectively manage the increased property risk associated with an impairment of automatic fire protection systems, no matter where your facility is located.

  • Expert loss prevention

    A qualified property loss prevention engineer helps you better understand the risks associated with impairments and assists you in minimizing the risk and the duration of the service interruption.

    Should the need for immediate assistance arise, we promptly dispatch a local engineer to your facility to help you assess the extent of the impairment, manage it and coordinate temporary protection.

    Keep your business safe—and moving

    An impaired sprinkler or other fire protection system at your facility puts your business and safety at risk. Should a fire occur while the system is impaired, it quickly could grow undetected and spread beyond the control capabilities of the protection system. If you ever do experience property protection system impairment, you can depend on FM.
