Montgomery County buildings we work in

Our shop is in Ambler, so Montco is the county we know best. The work here runs from hospital and medical office buildings to senior living campuses, office parks along the main business corridors, and school and college buildings. Many suburban campuses were built in phases, so one site can have doors, dampers and firestop from several decades.

Who checks your building

Because fire code enforcement for existing buildings is set town by town, the fire marshal or code official you deal with depends on your municipality. Healthcare buildings also answer to the Pennsylvania Department of Health for CMS, and accredited hospitals to The Joint Commission. We write the report so it works for any of them.

Local rules you should know

• Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code moved to the 2021 International Codes on January 1, 2026.

• Fire code rules for existing buildings are set town by town. Annual NFPA 80 door inspection still applies through the Life Safety Code for healthcare buildings and through most local fire codes.

• Pennsylvania has no statewide damper law. Healthcare buildings still follow the NFPA 4-year (6-year for hospitals) damper cycle.

• Hospitals and nursing homes are surveyed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health's Division of Safety Inspection.

Not sure when your dampers are due? Our fire damper testing schedule guide lays out the cycle.

What a visit looks like

Being close means short drives and easy return trips. We walk every rated opening, tag it, photograph it and record a pass or fail. Small fixes such as gaps, closers, latches and fusible links are done on the first visit when we have the part. Anything larger gets a priced plan. If you have a survey or a fire marshal notice coming, see Priority Repair.
