Stairwell Pressurization Testing

Smoke-free stairwells are critical for safe evacuation during a fire. Pressurization systems keep stairwells clear, but only if they’re tested and documented. Synergy ensures your stairwells meet code and AHJ requirements.

Why It Matters

Required for high-rise code compliance (IBC, NFPA).

Confirms safe egress routes during emergencies.

Verifies door forces and pressure differentials are within safe ranges.

Provides documentation to satisfy inspectors and AHJs.

Our Process

1. Review system design and code requirements.

2. Measure stairwell pressure differentials with calibrated equipment.

3. Conduct door force testing to confirm safe operation.

4. Provide a full report with results and compliance verification.

Why Synergy

We’re TABB-certified and union-trained, bringing accuracy and accountability to every project. Our reports are trusted by engineers, GCs, and owners because they’re thorough, defensible, and inspection-ready.
