Fire pumps are a critical component of any building’s fire sprinkler system, delivering the water pressure needed to protect your property when it matters most. Aura Fire Safety provides fire pump testing, inspection, maintenance, and repair services for commercial and multi-unit residential properties throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
NFPA 25 and local fire departments require diesel and electric fire pumps to be run and maintained with records kept. The San Francisco Bay Area regulatory requirements for fire pumps are:
If a fire pump is not maintained and serviced properly, the repair bills can be astronomical. Since fire pumps are typically kept out of the way and (hopefully) are not used very often, fire pump maintenance is extremely important to making sure the pumps will react the way they are supposed to should any type of blaze ever occur.
Aura Fire Safety can test your fire pump and ensure it functions properly. Our San Francisco team of fire specialists have decades upon decades of experience to offer you ranging from fire sprinklers to fire pump knowledge and everything between.

Aura Fire Safety performs all three NFPA 25-required fire pump tests for commercial and multi-unit residential properties throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
All tests are documented in written reports. Aura Fire Safety provides certification documentation for AHJ review and maintains testing records for each property we service.
When a fire pump fails a test or shows signs of mechanical problems, Aura Fire Safety handles corrections under the same contract. There is no need to coordinate a second contractor.
Common fire pump repairs include:
After repairs are complete, a follow-up test confirms the pump meets NFPA 25 performance requirements before the job is closed out.
Aura Fire Safety inspects, tests, and maintains all common fire pump configurations:
Fire pumps sit idle most of the time. Without regular testing, components can seize, diesel batteries can discharge, and fuel can degrade, leaving the pump unable to start when it is needed most.
NFPA 25 and California Title 19 require documented testing at weekly, annual, and 5-year intervals. The San Francisco Fire Department and local AHJs enforce these schedules and may request testing records at any inspection. Missing or incomplete records can result in notices of violation regardless of the pump’s actual condition. For properties that also require fire sprinkler inspections, Aura Fire Safety coordinates both services under one contract.
Regular testing also catches performance degradation early. A pump that passes each individual test but shows a consistent downward trend across annual flow tests may need internal inspection before a failure occurs.
Aura Fire Safety serves commercial and multi-unit residential properties throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Our licensed team handles weekly churn testing, annual flow testing, 5-year certifications, and repairs under one contract. Contact Aura Fire Safety online to request a quote with no hidden fees.
Daryl is simply fantastic – her customer service game is top notch! I, of course, called with a minor emergency, and while their schedule was too packed to shoehorn a technician appointment for me the same day, Daryl was so kind, accommodating, and responsive that I will not hesitate to contact Aura when the next leak arises.
I hired Aura to test and certify the fire panels in 2 apartment buildings in SF. Sophath was professional (punctual, wore a mask, explained everything clearly) and a pleasure to work with. Turns out each building had a sensor/detector which needed to be replaced, so he had to return a second time. Despite that, the cost was reasonable, and I plan to use them for future annual certifications.
This company was great to work with. Quick response to my inquiry,arrived right on time for repair/troubleshooting ,excellent follow up and competitively priced. Would definitely hire again.
Vladi and his crew installed a fire sprinkler system in our two cottages that were newly built on our property in Berkeley. They designed the system and supplied the calculations along with the permits to the city of Berkeley, and completed the work which passed the fire inspections. Vladi was always a delight to talk to, very positive and always willing to work with me. I actually miss having a reason to call Vladi. And after they finished the cottages, we backed out of a contract to add fire sprinklers to the existing house, Vladi gladly refunded 100% of our deposit because of the stress I had endured this year. I will gladly use them in the future if and when I need to have our fire system serviced.
As a first time condo owner, it was very helpful that the technician explained what he was doing and what I needed to be aware about. This was super easy to schedule and quick service.
My Architect, Ahmad introduced Vladi, Aura Fire Safety for Fire system at Himalayan Pizza and Momo. We are very happy with their work and they clearly know what they are doing. Vladi often visits job site and see how things are progressing. Our fire inspection passed successfully at first time without any problem. Vladi and his team listen customer well and make sure everything is planned good before they start their job. I would highly recommend them for Fire system protection, especially for commercial business.
These guys were great to work with, professional, friendly, explaining the whole process of a 5 year sprinkler inspection. From the technician Chris who did the work to Carlyn in the office, it is great when a business still believes in customer service & are just genuinely really Nice people to work with!
Aura Fire Safety did a great Job. As a General Contractor, I routinely look for subcontractors I can trust to do thorough, timely work. I found my experience with Aura Fire to be smooth, timely and pleasant all around. Easy to work with in the field and office, I will certainly call on them again. TM
Great customer service. Very responsive. They installed an Ansul system for us and they were competitively priced, on time, efficient and cleaned up after themselves. Highly recommended!
We needed a backflow prevention system to be installed to an existing fire sprinkler for our TIC to condo conversion project. Aura was the first one of 5 companies to respond to my request for estimate. Of 2 companies who did respond to my request, Aura was less expensive. Vladi was very pleasant to communicate with for scheduling technicians and inspections and Jesse was very professional and did an excellent job and provided detailed info for maintenance. Highly recommended.
Very professional and attentive service. Vladi took care of my restaurant and got me through final inspections. Highly recommend!
Great Service!. Vlad and his team are top notch. Responsive, expert and trustworthy. They were easy to work with, very professional, showed up when they said they would, did the work the said they would and followed up to insure satisfaction. Could not ask for a better experience.
Aura Fire has replaced our fire sprinkler heads and perform our annual testings. They are very professional and always keep good communications with me throughout the process. Vladi and Jose are a great team. I would recommend them for your fire safety needs!
Our HOA started using Aura this year, and we are very happy with the service. Vladi and Jose both are knowledgable and responsive to our needs. We fired our prior vendor and hired Aura and have no regrets!

Electric fire pumps require monthly churn testing. Diesel fire pumps require weekly churn testing. Both types require annual flow testing and a comprehensive 5-year flow test under NFPA 25.
A churn test runs the pump with no water discharge to confirm it starts, reaches shutoff pressure, and shows no mechanical problems. Electric pumps run for 10 minutes minimum; diesel pumps run for 30 minutes minimum.
Fire pump testing cost varies based on pump type, configuration, and the scope of testing required. Aura Fire Safety provides transparent, upfront quotes with no hidden fees. Contact us for a quote specific to your property.
A written deficiency report documents the findings. Impairments require immediate action and AHJ notification. Aura Fire Safety handles repairs and follow-up testing under the same contract so your pump is returned to compliance as quickly as possible.
