WHAT IS A WET RISER SYSTEM?
A wet riser is similar to a dry riser, but with one key difference—it’s permanently charged with water. These systems are typically found in high-rise buildings and provide firefighters with immediate access to a reliable water supply on every floor.
Because water is constantly present in the system, regular wet riser testing and maintenance are essential to prevent pressure loss, corrosion, and component failure.

WHY REGULAR WET RISER TESTING MATTERS
Routine wet riser testing is essential to ensure the system remains operational and capable of providing a reliable firefighting water supply when required. In accordance with the recommendations of BS 9990:2015, wet riser systems should be regularly inspected and tested to confirm the condition, performance, and availability of key components.
Without regular servicing, issues such as leaks, damaged valves, pump faults, restricted flow, or reduced water availability may go undetected. Poor wet riser performance or inadequate flow test results could prevent firefighting teams from accessing the required water supply during an emergency.
Regular wet riser maintenance helps ensure that pumps, pipework, landing valves, and associated equipment remain in effective working order and ready for immediate use.
