Sprinkler system inspection log
LogA dated walk-by record for each sprinkler system — what you looked at, and what you found.
What this records, and what it refuses to tell you
Every item on the list is a condition somebody can see on a walk: whether a valve is in the position your system expects, whether a sprinkler is painted or loaded with dust, whether something has been stacked in front of one. You write down what you found, against the system it belongs to, on the day you found it.
What it will not do is put a number on any of it. There is no clearance dimension here, no expected gauge reading and no pass mark, because every one of those belongs to the standard your system was designed to, in the edition your jurisdiction adopted — and quoting a figure at somebody whose building you have never seen is how a record turns into bad advice.
Recording a walk is not an inspection under a standard
A sprinkler system has inspection, testing and maintenance obligations, and they are real. They are also specific to your occupancy, your system and your authority having jurisdiction, and they are met by the people qualified to meet them — not by filling in a form on a website. This log is the building owner’s own record of what was looked at and when. Keep your contractor’s reports as well; this does not replace one.
If something is out of service, that is the important line
The last item on the list asks whether any part of the system is knowingly out of service right now. If it is, write it down here and then tell whoever your own procedures say to tell. CompliMaint sets no fire-watch trigger and no duration threshold, and it notifies nobody: what an impairment requires is set by your insurer, your procedures and your AHJ.

A walk-by condition record for sprinkler systems, kept per system on your device. CompliMaint states no inspection frequency, no gauge range, no clearance, no spare stock and no acceptance criterion, and it performs no test. It makes no determination that any system is compliant, impaired or acceptable to any authority — those come from the standard your system was designed to, the edition your jurisdiction has adopted, and your AHJ. Everything runs on your device.
Questions people ask
- How often should I do this?
- CompliMaint does not say, and that is deliberate. Inspection frequencies for sprinkler systems come from the standard your system was designed to, in the edition your jurisdiction has adopted, and they vary with your occupancy and your equipment. This tool holds no interval, fills none in and reminds you of nothing. Ask your AHJ or your sprinkler contractor what applies to your building, then use this to record what you actually did.
- Does a completed log mean my system passed?
- No. There is no pass mark anywhere in this tool. Each item is recorded as what you observed, and “attention” simply means you flagged it — it is not a failure grade and its absence is not a pass. CompliMaint issues no verdict on any system and makes no determination that anything is compliant.
- Can I use this instead of my contractor’s ITM report?
- No. Your contractor’s report is produced under the standard your system was designed to, by somebody qualified to produce it, and it is the document your AHJ and your insurer will ask for. This is the building owner’s own dated note of a walk. File the contractor’s report as well — the two answer different questions.
- What does it do about clearances and gauge readings?
- It asks you to write them down and says nothing about them. There is no required clearance and no expected pressure in this product. Record what the gauge said in the notes; what it ought to say is in your system’s own design documentation.
- Where does the data go?
- Without an account: nowhere. Every entry stays in this browser on this device, with nothing uploaded and nothing to sign up for. Signed into a CompliMaint workspace, the same records are also stored for that workspace — which is what puts them on your other devices and in front of your colleagues — and the screen says which of the two you are looking at. Either way no reading is transmitted to any authority or insurer. Use the print button to produce a copy for your records, and back the device up if it matters to you.
