Multi-Family Residential
When people live in close proximity to each other, like in an apartment building or condominium complex, the safety of one unit can affect everyone in the building. These buildings depend on life safety systems to catch problems early and keep hallways clear for possible evacuation. B-Lann Equipment handles the mandatory inspections and upkeep for fire extinguishers, fire suppression systems, and fixed gas systems.
B-Lann Equipment Looks After the Fire Protection and Air Quality Needs of Shared Spaces
The equipment needed in a residential complex depends on the area, whether it’s a tenant hallway, a shared mechanical room, or an underground garage. We focus our work on the parts of the building where hazards are most likely to start.
- Upkeep for utility and storage areas. Furnaces, water heaters, and storage lockers are common places for fires to begin. B-Lann Equipment services the portable fire extinguishers in these spaces to make sure they are charged and easy to reach so a fire can be stopped before it spreads.
- Testing lights in stairwells and hallways. If the power goes out, a long hallway can be difficult to navigate. We check the batteries and bulbs in exit signs and emergency lights so that residents can see their way out.
- Gas detection in parking garages. Enclosed parking areas can trap dangerous fumes from vehicle exhaust. B-Lann Equipment installs and inspects fixed gas detection systems that monitor for carbon monoxide and other toxins.
- Suppression for clubhouse kitchens and grills. Many apartment complexes have community kitchens or outdoor grilling areas. We install and service the fire suppression systems in these spots to handle grease fires, which can keep a cooking accident from threatening the rest of the building.
- On-call support. Safety issues don’t just happen during business hours. B-Lann Equipment provides support to service equipment after they’ve been used, helping to keep the building’s protection ready at all times.
