Full-service inspection with repairs and re-certification by the same crew. NJ Uniform Fire Code compliant. Reports formatted for the Cranford, New Jersey fire official and your insurance carrier.
Fire escapes on older properties in Cranford 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 Union County, New Jersey fire official.
Union County is dense urban-suburban — Elizabeth, Plainfield, and Linden carry heavy pre-war two- and three-family stock with original fire escapes.
Elizabeth's fire bureau actively enforces egress requirements; violation-driven inspection requests are routine here.
A fire escape inspection and certification in Cranford, NJ costs $1,375 for the first fire escape and $350 for each additional fire escape on the same property, including the written report and the engineer-signed certification.
