Western Pennsylvania projects mix renovation, institutional work, and new construction—often with tight access and little room for late firestop surprises. Fire Examiners Life Safety Solutions provides independent third-party firestop special inspection for Pittsburgh-area projects, with a local office presence in Pittsburgh, PA.

We inspect through-penetration and joint firestop systems to ASTM E2174 and ASTM E2393, align with IBC 1705.17 special inspection requirements, and deliver documentation GCs, owners, and AHJs can rely on. We inspect; we do not install. Firm-wide, we have completed 45,000+ firestop inspections.
