We thoroughly restore lost certified performance over each inspection cycle, maintaining defenses against risks evolving over decades.

MULTI-MODE DIAGNOSTIC FIRE MAPPING

Sophisticated zone pressure testing paired with theatrical fog visualization locates vulnerability pathways prone to combustion gas infiltration during difficult to detect smoldering events lurking within wall voids.

CLOSED CIRCUIT CAMERAS

We snake fiber optic camera probes through hollow wall airspaces, attic rafters and floor/ceiling joist cavities identifying holes left unsealed threatening deadly flame bypass into concealed areas.

DUCTWORK LEAK EVALUATIONS

Pressure mapping and/or theatrical smoke injections locate isolated duct conduit flaws enabling circulation of toxic combustion gases throughout buildings during concealed slow burning fires within structural cavities.

Proactive Repair & Upgrade Offerings

JOINT SEAL REJUVENATION

We inject intumescent resins 2” deep into failing control joints restoring lost elasticity on aging masonry barrier walls now prone to breaches from long term curing, seismic activity and foundation settling gaps over decades of service. Custom fitted expandable backings ensure durable flexibility resealing major pathways for future longevity.

COMPROMISED COATING REFURBISHMENTS

Where outdated passive fireproofing loses adhesion due to installation flaws, weathering degradation or normal wear, we completely strip surfaces to pH neutral conditions before overlaying upgraded domain-optimized UL/FM-approved thicknesses of ablative or intumescent coatings scientifically tested to withstand over 90 minutes of petroleum pool fires above 1,650°F.

PENETRATION SEAL OVERHAULS

We first extract hollow void remnants of obsolete legacy putty sealants behind pipes and cables. Fresh packed minerals with interlaced 3MTM Fire Wrap tying collars then replenish to updated codes designed to flexibly withstand dynamic joint movements for another 50 years without breakdown even among aging infrastructure.

DIMENSIONAL LUMBER

We strip any cracked framing or wood finishings back to healthy core integrity before recharging applying registered EPA 380 compliant preservative superhydrophobic fluoropolymer nanoformulations scientifically third-party certified to fundamentally disrupt pyrolysis chemistry – lowering core temperatures and critical radiant heat flux ignition thresholds over 350% beyond untreated lumber per ASTM E84 criteria.

Go beyond minimum codes by partnering with specialists focused exclusively on superior residential fireproofing year after year. Trust generations protecting your loved ones to our passion, quality assurance mindset, and proven expertise.

Featured Residential Fireproofing Projects

TOWNHOUSE ZERO BARRIER WALLS 51 Unit Vertical Complex– Broomfield, CO

Challenge: Four story 1980’s era condos required fire separation between party walls restored after 40+ years of decay enabled dangerous ignition transfer bypasses threatening families through flaws in the original zero barrier construction methods.

Solution: We pressure tested/smoke images side-by-side units pinpointing 248 breach interconnections then systematically sealed each fault deploying 4-hour mineral fiber insulation with thermally protective encapsulations – renewing building lifespan through 2080.

WHOLE HOUSE ELECTRICAL OVERHAUL New 6000 sq ft Custom Estate – Cherry Hills Village, CO

Challenge: Over 500 lbs of new copper circuits were needed to support EV car charging systems, modern appliances and guest suite additions – leaving major unprotected voids after penetrations violated rear wall firewalls.

Solution: After temporarily remediating immediate penetration issues, we further smoke tested/inspected full residence methodically sealing discovered gaps with fire-rated putties and custom fit grommets. Upgraded home to current NFPA life-safety code compliance inside of three weeks during initial construction stages – preventing delays from regulatory red flags.

SECONDARY GARAGE RESIDENCE Unauthorized ADU Addition – Castle Rock, CO

Challenge: Homeowner real estate investor converted standalone garage into rental apartment for passive income without permits nor upgrading firewalls/construction appropriately – endangering occupants and violating zoning laws. Faced fines and having to dismantle full build-out.

Solution: Implemented redundant self-closing primary boundary doors, integrated monitoring systems, treated insulation for compliance, sealed all penetrations with long-lasting putty pads, supplemented demising partitions and smoke control air pressure differentials resulting approved legal separate living zone compliant to all current building/zoning/fire codes.

Optimizing New Home Fire Safety

BLUEPRINT FIREPROOFING REVIEWS

We advise project architects from preliminary design review searching drawings for overlooked containment issues violating fire codes that trigger major delays catching late in construction.

ONGOING PROGRESS INSPECTIONS

We examine prepared framing pre-drywall, double checking for missing fire seals as other trades blindly punch conduits through firewalls on tight schedules. Identifying structural vulnerabilities early prevents change order costs down the road during finishing.

FIRE RETARDANT LUMBER

Application crews treat exposed beams, columns and dimensional framing lumber with registered EPA “Type One” fire retardant sealants before enclosure to fundamentally alter wood combustion properties – improving structural resiliency, reducing smoke and buying residents precious extra minutes of escape time during disasters.

WHOLE BUILDING BAKE-OUTS

We conduct three stage full structure heating cycles with calibrated infrared lamps, propane radiators and ventilated humidity controls up to 140°F eliminating residual construction moisture secured deep within material matrices at the molecular level – preventing obscured dry rot decay and unchecked mold blooms over upcoming decades of service.

HOLISTIC FIRESTOP SYSTEMS

We seal all firewall joints plus mechanical, electrical and plumbing utility penetrations using combinations of custom fitted putties, expanding intumescent wraps and elastomeric caulks matching hourly ratings required by codes. This completely safeguards vulnerabilities leftover as other trades depart crunching project deadlines.

THIRD PARTY CODE COMPLIANCE

We commission independent testing and documentation that officially certifies built-in fire safety exceeding municipalities’ life-safety expectations. Notarized materials certificates assure future owners that fire barriers maintain structural integrity over longevity as architecturally engineered without deviation.
