Wet risers and dry risers

In tall buildings, wet risers and dry risers are used to move water up through the floors as an emergency source for the fire services. At Asco, we can provide maintenance and repairs for these systems, as well as testing, to ensure they’re fully operational should they be required.

We’re backed by the LS Fire Group, meaning we can provide our services to businesses local to us in Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen, as well as across the UK with the help of our partner brands.

Wet risers

A wet riser can keep a constant flow of water at all times and is used for buildings which stand at a height of over 50 metres. This is to ensure that emergency services have access to water immediately on higher levels without needing to wait for it to be transported upwards.

Dry risers

When a building has a height of over 18 metres, a dry riser system can be used. The dry riser system allows emergency services to pump water into the pipelines to help tackle a fire on floors higher up.

When it comes to fire safety equipment, you can count on our expertise to keep your dry and wet risers maintained and fully operational. As well as operating across Scotland – including Duns, Forfar, Ardrossan, and Aberdeen – we offer a nationwide service with the help of our partner brands, ensuring you meet your legal obligations no matter where you’re based.
