Fire protection crews for sprinkler fitting support and fire stopping on commercial projects, working under the licensed contractor of record.
Insured · 100 percent satisfaction guarantee · Serving Columbus since 2021
Total Ease Services places trained, background-checked crews on commercial fire protection scopes in Columbus, GA. Crews hang sprinkler pipe, hangers and heads, install firestop sealant and build fire-rated drywall assemblies, always under the direction of the project's licensed fire protection contractor of record. Total Ease supplies the trained hands, never the license or the final inspection sign-off.
What Do Fire Protection Crews From Total Ease Services Do?
Total Ease Services crews support the physical work on a commercial fire protection scope. That includes hanging sprinkler pipe and hangers, setting heads, sealing penetrations with firestop material and building fire-rated wall assemblies. Every task happens under the direction of the project's licensed fire protection contractor, never as a scope Total Ease designs or signs off on alone.
Sprinkler Fitting Support Under Your Fire Protection Contractor
Georgia licenses fire sprinkler work through the Safety Fire Commissioner, and Total Ease Services is not a licensed fire sprinkler contractor. On sprinkler fitting scopes, Total Ease crews work as extra trained hands for the fitter or contractor already licensed on the project.
That can mean hanging pipe runs, installing hangers to the engineered spacing, and setting heads exactly where the licensed fitter marks them. The fitter of record directs the layout, inspects the work and signs off on it. Total Ease crews follow that direction and keep the schedule moving on a busy job site.
Fire Stopping and Firestop Sealant at Wall and Floor Penetrations
Every pipe, conduit and cable that passes through a fire-rated wall or floor needs a firestop system to keep that rating intact. Total Ease Services crews install firestop sealant, collars and wrap strips at these penetrations, following the manufacturer's listed assembly and the project's fire protection plans.
This work supports the general contractor's code compliance on inspection day. Total Ease crews do not design the firestop schedule or approve the assembly; they install to the plan the architect, engineer or fire protection contractor already specified.
Fire-Rated Drywall Assemblies and Rated Wall Patching
A fire-rated wall only holds its rating when the drywall assembly is built to the listed layer count, tape pattern and fastener spacing. Total Ease Services crews hang and finish fire-rated drywall assemblies and patch rated walls after other trades cut into them, matching the original assembly so the rating stays intact. For the full drywall scope beyond rated assemblies, see the drywall installation and finishing crews page.
Do Total Ease Crews Handle Fire Alarm and Detection Wiring?
Total Ease Services crews support the rough-in side of a life-safety system: pulling cable, setting boxes and staging devices for the licensed alarm contractor to terminate, test and program. This rough-in work pairs closely with the low-voltage cabling Total Ease crews already handle on commercial projects. See the low voltage technicians page for the full scope of alarm and life-safety rough-in support.
Fire Protection Licensing on a Georgia Commercial Project
Georgia licenses fire protection contractors through the Safety Fire Commissioner. On a commercial job, the licensed fire protection contractor of record designs the system, pulls the permit and signs the final inspection. Total Ease Services is not that licensed contractor. Total Ease supplies trained, background-checked crews who carry out the physical tasks that contractor directs, from pipe hanging to firestopping.

FAQ
Fire Protection Crews, common questions
Where can I find fire protection crews near me in Columbus, GA?
Total Ease Services is based in Columbus, GA and staffs fire protection crews on commercial projects across the region, including Phenix City, Opelika, Auburn and LaGrange. See the full list of areas Total Ease Services serves to check coverage near your project site before requesting a crew.
Does Total Ease Services hold the license for fire sprinkler work?
No. Georgia licenses fire sprinkler contractors through the Safety Fire Commissioner, and Total Ease Services is not that licensed contractor. Total Ease supplies trained, background-checked crews who hang pipe, set hangers and heads, and support other fire protection tasks under the direction of the project's licensed fire protection contractor of record, who designs the system and signs off on the final inspection.
Is firestopping priced per penetration or by the linear foot?
It depends on the job. Some firestop scopes price per penetration sealed, others by linear foot of joint or gap, and a few price by the rated assembly repaired. What actually drives the cost is penetration count, assembly type, material grade, access difficulty and code documentation needed for inspection. Ask for a scope-based quote so the crew size and material match your project.
How fast can Total Ease Services get a fire protection crew on site?
Total Ease Services schedules fire protection crews around the project's timeline, with start dates set when the scope is walked. Once a general contractor shares the scope and schedule through the contact page, Total Ease places a background-checked crew sized to the job. Total Ease works Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, and Saturday, 9 am to 6 pm, to fit around your project calendar.
Does Total Ease Services take on small fire protection jobs, like patching one penetration?
Yes. Total Ease Services sends a crew sized to the scope, whether that is one technician sealing a handful of penetrations or a full crew supporting a sprinkler rough-in phase. There is no minimum job size for firestopping or rated-wall patching support. Share the scope through the contact page and Total Ease will size the crew to match.
Can a general contractor request the same fire protection crew for multiple phases of a project?
Yes. A general contractor can request the same Total Ease Services crew for multiple phases of a project, from initial sprinkler fitting support through later firestopping and rated-wall patching. Staying with one crew keeps site rules and safety training consistent across phases. Request a crew through the general contractor crew page.
Does Total Ease Services provide fire protection crews for new construction or only renovation projects?
Both. Total Ease Services fire protection crews support new commercial construction and renovation or tenant fit-out projects alike. The scope looks the same either way: sprinkler fitting support, firestopping and fire-rated drywall work carried out under the project's licensed fire protection contractor of record.
