Dry Riser Servicing and Maintenance

DRY RISER MAINTENANCE, SERVICING AND TESTING

BS9990 Dry Riser Pressure Inspection & Servicing

Dry risers are vital components of a building’s fire safety system, providing firefighters with quick access to water across multiple floors during an emergency. As they’re not in daily use, regular servicing is essential to ensure they function correctly when needed most.

Dry risers are required in buildings over 18 metres tall and are typically installed in stairwells or service shafts. Servicing involves checking:

  • Inlet and outlet valves

  • Pipework for leaks, corrosion or blockages

  • Landing valves and seals

  • Air tightness and water pressure

According to BS 9990:2015, dry risers must be visually inspected every 6 months and tested annually to confirm they are in safe working condition.
