One of our primary business focuses is on the Healthcare industry. Life safety is a top priority in hospitals as it relates to their facilities. Hospitals not only are required to meet local construction codes, but they are also routinely audited to ensure their facilities meet the life safety requirements set out in the building codes. Hospitals and healthcare facilities depend on Federal Funding and failed inspections put those facilities and their funding at risk.

We have been working in healthcare facilities for over 24-years, helping these facilities bring their buildings up to code and assisting in maintaining those facilities. We have also been providing our services at the time of construction for new projects throughout the Midwest. Our team understands the importance of proper Firestop installation and the inspection process Hospitals go through throughout the life of the facility.

U.S. Firestop provides detailed and accurate take-offs using digitized software for new construction projects. We can provide the general contractor a complete pricing option as well as providing estimates for the individual trades (electric, plumbing, mechanical, sprinkler, gypsum & masonry contractors…. etc.)

Installing proper Firestop Systems in new construction can be challenging. The designs of these projects don’t always represent the actual site conditions; our team is ready and trained to meet the demands to find solutions when UL Systems are not available. Our team will work with the manufacturers’ engineering team to find those solutions quickly, keeping your project on schedule. Our installation team not only installs the correct Firestop Systems, but they do also in a neat and professional manner followed by labeling of those Firestop systems.

Third party inspections, which are now required by many local codes/authorities in healthcare facilities, educational facilities and high-rise buildings make the importance of hiring a company that specializes in Firestop installation even more crucial. We will install proper Firestop systems, label our Firestop Systems and provide one of our team members for inspections. This ensures that your project is done correctly and on time.

Data Centers are rapidly being constructed throughout the world, and U.S. Firestop has been an integral part of these projects in the Midwest. Proper Firestop System installation is crucial to protect the delicate equipment in these environments. Data centers generate immense heat from servers and require high airflow for cooling which can quickly spread flames and smoke. We will ensure that all Firestop Systems will be installed correctly to protect these facilities throughout their life span. Acoustic sealants are also immensely important in limiting airflow within the facilities, our team will work to ensure all penetrations and joints are treated properly.

Air cooled Data Centers require a massive array of exterior louvers as part of the mechanical systems. To provide our mechanical contractors with a comprehensive solution, we also provide and install the exterior sealants to prevent water mitigation in those systems.

Building renovations can present difficulties in maintaining code integrity. Many restoration projects include buildings that were constructed under less stringent codes and poor code enforcement. This requires a high level of knowledge and experience to identify solutions for non-compliant barriers/partitions. Our team will work with the contractors, architects and engineers to meet this challenge, and ensure that your project is completed on time and code compliant.
