Full-service inspection with repairs and re-certification by the same crew. NJ Uniform Fire Code compliant. Reports formatted for the Helmetta, New Jersey fire official and your insurance carrier.
Fire escapes on older properties in Helmetta typically have not been load tested in years — sometimes decades. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections performs the periodic inspection and load test required under NJ code, and delivers a written report ready for submission to the Middlesex County, New Jersey fire official.
Middlesex County's fire escapes concentrate in New Brunswick, Perth Amboy, and the older downtown cores of Edison and Woodbridge.
New Brunswick's rental-heavy market (Rutgers) means certificate-of-occupancy cycles drive a steady cadence of inspection requests.
