Sprinkler System in Port Perry
Harex takes scheduled inspection, testing and repair work in Port Perry. Emergency callouts there are arranged in advance for contract clients rather than answered on the open line, because the drive from Oshawa is long enough that a promise of same-hour response would not be honest.
Scugog Fire and Emergency Services is a composite department: a full-time chief, one Fire Prevention Officer and a handful of career staff alongside about 65 volunteer firefighters. Both of its stations hold Tanker Shuttle Accreditation, which is the rural-water designation a municipality earns where hydrants do not reach, and it changes what a sprinkler inspection has to prove. The prevention division answers Monday to Friday, 8:30 to 4:30.
For a sprinkler system in a tanker-shuttle municipality the water supply test is not a formality. A Harex sprinkler inspection in Port Perry documents the supply the system actually has, tank or main, because that is what Scugog's fire department will want to see on the report.
Harex forwards every completed sprinkler system report for a Port Perry building to Scugog Fire and Emergency Services, so the building is on record as maintained with the department that would otherwise be the one to notice a lapse. Port Perry is about 35 minutes from the Harex base in Oshawa; travel is billed, and a three-year contract fixes the rate for its term.
Harex also provides sprinkler system in Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington.
The system nobody looks at
A sprinkler system in an Ontario industrial building sits untouched for years and looks fine. Then a valve is found closed, a dry system has water sitting in it, or a flow switch never reported to the panel. Inspection exists to catch exactly that, before an insurer or an inspector does.
What we inspect and test
- CONTROL VALVES
- GAUGES & PRESSURE
- FLOW SWITCHES
- TAMPER SWITCHES
- ALARM TRANSMISSION
- FIRE DEPT. CONNECTION
- HEADS & CLEARANCE
- DRY SYSTEM AIR
Because Harex also holds your fire alarm file, we can prove the sprinkler devices actually reach the panel, which is the part that gets missed when two different contractors own the two systems.
Frequency
Harex runs an annual inspection with more frequent checks through the year, set by system type and occupancy. Dry systems and buildings with freeze exposure get closer attention going into winter.

What clients say
across every platform
“Harex has looked after our alarm and extinguishers for years. They come when they say they will, and the report is in our hands before the insurer asks for it.”
“We were told the whole system had to be replaced. Harex asked the fire department why, in writing, and the scope came back a fraction of what we had been quoted.”
“We had thirty days and a list we did not understand. They went through it item by item, told us what was actually required, and we passed the re-inspection.”
“Four buildings, one schedule, one set of reports. I stopped chasing three different contractors for paperwork the month we switched.”
“Panel went into trouble on a Saturday night. Somebody answered, walked our supervisor through it on the phone, and had a technician there before the shift started.”
“We were told the whole system had to be replaced. Harex asked the fire department why, in writing, and the scope came back a fraction of what we had been quoted.”
