The Facts

With State-Line Firestopping, every aspect of firestopping and fireproofing is possible. Our goal is to always protect the building and its occupants from the rapid spread of fire and smoke. Through our efforts, we are able to confine and compartmentalize smoke and fire to prevent the fire from spreading and meet Life Safety Code requirements. Although automatic fire sprinkler systems are beneficial, they only provide a portion of what is needed to prevent smoke and fire from destroying the building and placing those inside the building in extreme danger.

As a client, you can feel confident knowing your particular project be completed on-time and properly, as we are experienced, well-trained, and fully insured.
