Drilled into a fire sprinkler pipe in my house and they did a great job coming out and fixing that. Reasonable price too.

Only writing this review because I noticed there weren't many reviews in 2025. We have been using Andy at our shopping center for 7 years and he has done a great job fixing whatever issue arises; backflow testing, required 5 year testing, re-piping fire sprinklers. And he takes care of all the compliance documents. You name it he does it and at a reasonable price. Thank goodness for Andy! read more

Came out when we had a leak in a fire sprinkler line. Handled the job the next day and at a reasonable price.

Andy Weise was helpful and kept in touch with us along the way. We are very pleased with the service this company provided. They fixed the back flow leak early the next morning, as promised Mary B. Operations Manager read more

The fire line in my garage makes a clicking sound every day at the same time, which bothered me for a long time. I contacted California fire protection and explained that problem. They analyzed it and provided very helpful information for free! It turned out the irrigation system caused it, and I need a plumber to install a check valve. Thanks a lot!!! read more

Anthony was referred to our home by the plumber we were using to fix a broken sprinkler. The plumber wanted to make sure that everything was wired and working properly. I left a message for Anthony and he called me right back. He had a busy schedule, but was able to fit me in at the end of the day. When Athony was heading to our home, he called to let me know that he was on his way. Upon arriving, he was very personable and thorough. This was probably the best service call we've every had. I will keep Anthony's card and not hesitate to recommend California Fire protection & Backflow Inc. to my friends and family. The Stay family read more

Technician "Flo" came out to inspect my indoor sprinkler system. Never owned a home with an interior sprinkler system. Well, - I learned a ton. He spent almost 1.5 hrs here and sure enough found quite a few issues. Flo is just amazing. Super friendly, incredibly courteous and knowledgeable. He proposed some repairs and improvements that do make send and I will likely do them. John, the company's dispatch, -- is just grand with his communications and thus far I feel I'm in super knowledgeable hands. Can't wait to get the work done and feel more safe in the really high-risk fire we live in (on a hill surrounded by nothing but brush. SN. read more

My go to for our annual backflow test on our commercial building. Quick, good price, and LOVE that they submit all the docs for us!

Fixed my valve that was all corroded in the garage. Then randomly, the next week we had a fire line leaking slowly. Dumped out on the floor in our kitchen. They came that day and fixed everything! Great work. Professional. Helpful. Highly recommend read more

We bought a house that had an indoor sprinkler system, but were given no information about it. This visit was very informative and gave us an appreciation of the fire protection for our home. They were thorough and very helpful. read more

Anthony came to secure a loose sprinkler and also to flush the system... He was so knowledgeable and friendly. He fixed the issue, went thru each room to make sure there were no other problems, always explaining the system, how it works, what causes the sprinklers to actually go off and how to shut them off. Explaining the why's and how to's was so much more valuable than I could have imagined. Thank You. read more

I first met Andy when I called him on a Saturday on behalf of a client in escrow. We had questions about the home's unique sprinkler system, motor and pressure tank. The motor was loud and we needed an expert to guide us to a solution. Andy was very professional, friendly and knowledgable about the system and gave an expert inspection on short notice. He was so good that I had him out to my home to inspect my system and he did a great job at a reasonable cost. Andy also followed up with me to make sure my system was working properly. I will gladly recommend Andy and California Fire Protection to friends, family and real estate clients. Five stars++!! read more

I can not recommend California Fire Protection enough. I was awakened at O Dark Thirty this morning to the sound of the alarm on my fire sprinkler system going off. After shutting off the breaker to the alarm, I contacted this company. One of their technicians, Anthony, called me. I described what happened and he told me when he would be out to take a look. He called to say he could be here early. Yeah! In less than 10 minutes, he checked the water pressure sensor, adjusted it, and confirmed that the alarm no longer went off. All fixed. I asked how much I owed him and said there was no charge! He also left me his card in case I had any additional issues. What a great local company. read more

They did the testing for my backflow prevention device. Their prices were fair, communication was great and did exactly what they promised. Cannot ask for much more than that. Thank you. read more

They came on time. They wore masks. Installed my sprinkler covers and their inspection of y sprinkler system was cost effective compared to other companies. read more

Anthony was awesome to work with. This was the third company I called for a fire sprinkler inspection and the other two were terrible with follow through. Anthony called me within the hour of talking to Stacey with my request and was able to come out the next day. He was courteous, on time, friendly, and efficient. Highly recommend California Fire Protection. Thank you Anthony! read more

We had a leaking fire sprinkler in our garage. Anthony came out and fixed it to perfection. Great guy, very polite and friendly. If possible, ask for Anthony. read more

I had some heavy corrosion on the steel fire protection pipe connected to the copper line coming into the house. California Fire gave me a fair estimate to replace all of the steel piping between the copper inlet and the brass check valve (a few feet away). All of the other contractors either didn't call me back, gave me a ridiculously high estimate to replace all of my steel piping (much of which is hidden behind drywall) or only wanted to replace the small steel pipe section that was heavily corroded. Apparently copper and steel don't "mix well", but brass connected to steel is ok. Anthony did the repair and was extremely friendly and helpful answering all of my questions and testing the system afterwards. I highly recommend this company. read more

California Fire Protection and Backflow were awesome! They worked with my schedule and finished my fire sprinkler repair within an hour. They were nice and very professional and gave the best rate compared to all the other quotes I received. read more

I recently purchased a home and the previous owner's painter painted the fire sprinkler covers. Big no-no. The covers are designed to fall off at a specific temperature (135 degrees) and if they are painted, the paint blocks that plus paint dries like glue so the covers won't fall off and the sprinkler can't do it's job. I found California Fire Protection on Yelp and the reviews were great so I made an appointment. Andy came out to inspect, flush and test my fire sprinkler system and replace 22 painted fire sprinkler covers. He is very professional and knowledgeable. He is probably fast too, but I followed him around the house talking to him. I may have made him late for his next appointment. If you have painted fire sprinkler covers, please contact Andy and get it taken care of. Piece of mind. read more

Had an appointment for a residential sprinkler inspection for our new home. Made a special early morning trip to the property for the appointment. They didn't show up or call to reschedule. Very frustrating. read more

My home has sprinklers that had never been inspected since the time it was built 15 years ago. I wanted to know everything was working properly, so I looked on yelp to find an expert. Andy from California Fire Protection and Backflow came out to inspect, flush and test my system and he was a pro who was great to work with. He knew these systems inside and out and took the time to answer my questions and explain how everything worked. He showed up on time (a few minutes early) and was able to do everything in just over half an hour. Price was very reasonable and having the peace of mind to know the system is working properly is great. I'd recommend California Fire Protection and Backflow and Andy W. to anyone. read more

Had it on my to do list forever to get my 16 year old system inspected and was very happy to finally get it done. Anthony was a wealth of knowledge and showed me how and where to turn off the water to the system in the event of a leak, plus all sorts of valuable information. Glad to know everything is working well and would definitely recommend them! read more

This review is long overdue. We were told by the water company that our back flow valve needed to be replaced. We called Andy out and he explained to us that as long as the valve passed the back flow testing replacement was not necessary. He even called the water company on our behalf and helped us verify that we had been mis-informed. The total for the replacement was going to be over $6000. Andy could have just replaced the unit and made $6000 and we would have cut the check no questions asked. He spent quite a few hours helping us out and did not charge us a dime!! Andy went above and beyond. He is professional, extremely honest and just a good person. We highly recommend Andy to anyone that is in need of his services!! read more

Andy is very helpful, knowledgeable, and reliable. I would definitely recommend this company for your fire protection and backflow needs.

Anthony was working in the neighborhood and responded to my crisis when the fire sprinkler alarm sounded. After 911 was called and the firemen determined it was the flow sensor, I called another company to perform the repair. I the meantime, I contacted Anthony who came right over, assessed the situation and fixed the problem. About twenty minutes later Company A called me back to schedule the repair. Anthony is professional, personable, and efficient. He also gave me tips on avoiding future problems. If you ever need these type of services, I highly recommend California Fire Protection! read more

This review has been a long time coming but Andy deserves a great review based on how well he performed when we needed him. We sold our house back in September and one of the issues was that the Fire Sprinklers Covers were painted. Apparently that is a major hazard because they don't operate properly and could fail as a result. I found California Fire Protection on Yelp and he lived up to previous reviews. Super responsive, very knowledgeable and was very friendly. He was on time for his appointment (never seems to be the case with home repair) and took care of business like a true professional. In fact, one of sprinklers was giving him problems because it was glued from the foam but he never gave up and ultimately replaced it. Cost was very reasonable and I'm pretty sure most Would highly recommend Andy to anyone who needs their Fire Sprinkler Systems checked, repaired or installed. The guy is awesome! read more

Just wanted to say a big thanks to Andy for his advice. I can tell he knew what he was talking about and he was very friendly, professional, and patient with me. I will definitely recc this company to family and friends in the area. read more

Andy at California Fire Protection was great to work with. I called when my residential fire sprinkler system started leaking. Andy answered quickly and came to my house the same day to evaluate my leak. Andy had to order some parts and completed the job two days later. His professionalism, communication, and price were absolutely excellent. I would definitely recommend him and his company. read more

California Fire Protection and Backflow - Andy replaced my rusted out riser. - Fire Protection Services Near Me - San Clemente, California

My fire bell had been randomly going off for months. By recommendation of a neighbor, I had called a plumber to fix it. He installed some expensive new plumbing which I believe helped stabilize the water pressure, but I was disappointed to discover that it did not fix the fire bell. I called CA Fire Protection and Backflow. The dispatcher was very kind and let me know that a tech would call me ASAP - which they did. Anthony was very friendly and was able to come out within a few days. He made an adjustment to a sensor and voila! Bell fixed. I should have call CA Fire Protection and Backflow much sooner! Thank you! read more

So, I'll cut to the chase. Problems with a contractor left me with a job near finished, but not ready for inspection. My problem was a capped sprinkler head. I called California Fire Protection and Andrew called me back right away. I texted a picture and Andrew sent out Anthony to look at my problem. Within 30 seconds of climbing his ladder, he uncapped the sprinkler head and put the flange trim back on. When I asked what I owed (Andrew had thought it would run about $375 for a few hours work.) Anthony's reply, "no charge." These guys have earned a customer for life. This is what a real contractor does, be honest. Thank you California Fire Protection read more

This company and Anthony specifically were amazing. Called them late on a Sunday due to an emergency and they responded within 10 minutes. Helped me resolved the problem, and in the end, told me I was not in need of their services yet, which I found to be incredibly honest. Really appreciated the candor, and they will definitely be my first call if I need them again! read more
