Monthly visual inspections are performed to keep standpipes ready and accessible between deeper checks. This cadence ensures you can spot obvious problems—like obstructions, damage, leaks, corrosion, missing caps, or blocked outlets—and confirm that access and signage are in place. While more thorough testing occurs on a longer schedule (often annually), the monthly visual check catches issues early and maintains safety and readiness in between those formal tests. Daily would be unnecessary for routine sight checks, and weekly or yearly intervals don’t align with standard maintenance practice.
