NFPA 25 · Water-Based ITM

Fire Sprinkler Inspection Software Built for Field Testing

Field-ready sprinkler inspection software for water-based ITM contractors — run the NFPA 25 checklist on a tablet, capture deficiencies with photos, and turn the visit into a client-ready report before you leave the site.

If you inspect water-based fire sprinkler systems, most software is either a generic checklist app with no idea what NFPA 25 requires, or an enterprise platform priced for a fifty-truck operation. Fire sprinkler inspection software should sit in the middle: purpose-built for NFPA 25 inspection, testing and maintenance, light enough for an independent shop, and honest about what it does. This is that tool — and the technical standard behind it lives on our NFPA 25 page.

Sprinkler inspection software that runs in the field

The inspection happens on a phone or tablet, at the riser — not back at the office transcribing paper. Your inspector works the NFPA 25 checklist with the code reference on every item, records deficiencies as they're found, attaches photos, and captures a signature on site. The moment it's submitted, it's a finished, standard-specific PDF report.

Mobile checklist

Run NFPA 25 ITM on a tablet or phone, item by item, with the code section on each line.

Deficiency capture

Flag deficiencies as you find them, with photos and severity — no separate write-up later.

On-site signature

Sign off in the field; the report is ready when you walk out.

NFPA 25 coverage for water-based systems

The checklist is built to the NFPA 25 standard for water-based fire sprinkler system inspection — the ITM most contractors run most weeks. Covered system components include:

For risers and standpipes you can also record the system's hydraulic design data — design area and density, required flow and pressure, the water-supply flow test, the governing sprinkler, and the calc's provenance (software, designer, edition used) — and carry it onto the NFPA 25 report alongside the inspection. Fire Inspect Hub documents the results from the contractor's hydraulic calculation; it does not perform the calculation.

Dry-pipe systems: the NFPA 25 §13.4.5 dry-pipe valve ITM — including the 3-year full-flow trip test and its recorded values — is covered; see our dry pipe trip test software page. Preaction and deluge remain inspection-only.

Backflow prevention assemblies: the NFPA 25 §13.7 backflow assembly inspection — its own asset, the annual items that apply to an assembly, and the §13.7.1.3 five-year internal inspection — is covered; see our backflow inspection software page.

Riser and valve inventory that persists year over year

NFPA 25 is recurring work, so the system inventory should be durable, not re-entered every visit. Fire Inspect Hub builds out each site's physical hierarchy as asset records: a riser or standpipe as the parent, with its control valves, gauges, FDC, waterflow devices and main drains as child assets underneath. Install dates and component details live on each asset, so next year's ITM starts from the real system, not a blank form. (More on the model in our NFPA 25 overview.)

Reports and compliance documentation

Every inspection produces a standard-specific PDF — the NFPA 25 report an AHJ or building owner expects, with deficiencies documented and severities marked. Deficiency records carry their own lifecycle, so an open item is visible until it's resolved rather than buried in a past report.

Cut the re-keying into Brycer

If your AHJ uses Brycer — the Compliance Engine — Fire Inspect Hub cuts the re-keying. From a completed or in-review inspection, copy the required fields straight into Brycer instead of re-typing them from scratch, and upload a CSV for the fields that take a file. Less double entry, same report. (New to Brycer? See our Brycer explainer and submission guide.)

Scheduling and the customer portal

Set each client's next inspection date and keep recurring NFPA 25 visits on a schedule instead of a spreadsheet. Finished reports can be shared with the building owner through a customer portal, so the compliance record is where they can find it.

Install-side: NFPA 13 and 13D acceptance records

Sprinkler work isn't only ITM — the job often starts at installation. Fire Inspect Hub also generates install-acceptance documents: the NFPA 13 Contractor's Material & Test Certificate (aboveground) for commercial systems, and the NFPA 13D residential-sprinkler Installation & Acceptance Record — each a structured document with a dual-signature lifecycle. Winning the install is often how you win the recurring ITM contract that follows.

Frequently asked questions

What NFPA standard does fire sprinkler inspection follow?

Water-based sprinkler ITM is governed by NFPA 25. The checklist covers water-based systems — risers, standpipes, fire pumps, backflow preventers, pressure-reducing valves — plus Chapter 11 foam-water systems, with the code reference on every item.

Is there a fire sprinkler inspection app for the field?

Yes — the inspection runs on a phone or tablet at the riser: work the checklist, capture deficiencies and photos, sign on site, and the report is ready when you leave.

Does it work with Brycer / the Compliance Engine?

Yes — it cuts the re-keying. Copy the required fields from a completed or in-review inspection straight into Brycer instead of re-typing them, and upload a CSV for the fields that take a file.

Does it handle riser and valve inventory?

Yes — each site's risers and standpipes carry their control valves, gauges, FDC, waterflow devices and main drains as child assets, so the inventory persists for recurring ITM.

What does it cost?

Per user, month-to-month, with a free tier. $54 per user, per month — the same rate at any team size, with no long contract.
