Underground fire systems are critical for life safety and property protection, but because they’re buried, problems can go unnoticed until it’s too late. Here are common signs your system may need inspection or repair:
Sudden drop in water pressure or flow
Visible water pooling or soft, wet ground above pipe areas
Unexplained spikes in your water bill
Leaking or stuck post indicator valves (PIVs) or gate valves
Rusty water coming from hydrants or FDCs
Failure during a routine fire flow test
Corrosion or damage noticed during a 5-year inspection
Fire department or inspector notices pressure loss
Hydrant blowout or failure after being hit or used
Loud noises, hammering, or air in pipes during hydrant or valve operation
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to schedule an evaluation right away. Hydrant Flow Inc. provides professional underground fire system inspections, leak detection, and emergency repairs throughout Southern California.
The time it takes to repair or install an underground fire system depends on the scope of work, site conditions, and permitting requirements. Here’s a general overview:

Non-emergency repairs involving pipe replacement, hydrant relocation, or valve upgrades typically take 2 to 5 business days, including trenching, part replacement, and testing.New Installations:
Full underground fire system installations—such as new mains, hydrants, and riser stub-outs—can take 1 to 3 weeks, depending on project size, depth of trenching, permitting timelines, and inspection scheduling.
