Q: Why do fire hydrants need to be painted?
A: Painting hydrants prevents rust, improves visibility for emergency crews, and keeps your property compliant with city or fire department regulations.
Q: What colors are hydrants supposed to be?
A: Color requirements vary by city or fire district. We follow local codes to ensure compliance with visibility and water flow classification standards.
Q: What type of paint do you use on fire hydrants?
A: We use a high-performance, oil-based enamel specifically designed for direct-to-metal applications. It resists chipping, rust, and harsh weather, ensuring a long-lasting, highly visible finish that meets safety standards.
Q: Can you repaint a rusty or peeling hydrant?
A: We start by wire brushing the hydrant to remove rust and peeling paint. For more severe paint failure, we use a hot-water pressure washer to strip the old paint before applying a fresh, durable coat.
Q: How long does the paint last?
A: With proper surface prep and quality paint, the paint can last 5–10 years, depending on environmental conditions.
Q: How long does it take to paint a fire hydrant?
A: Each hydrant typically takes 30–60 minutes, which includes prep time. We work efficiently to avoid disruptions to nearby homeowners and businesses.
Q: Do you provide documentation for code compliance?
A: Yes, we provide before-and-after photos and a completion report to show the work meets local standards.
