Trash chute doors are vital to your building's and residents safety. Building codes require that ALL fire rated chute doors be inspected.
Some of the fire code violations include:
1.
Grease/Sludge Build-up
This could lead to grease trash fire
2.
Holes and Tears
Trash chutes can become damaged from corrosion or heavy items. This damage will allow smoke or flame in the chute to escape the chute.
3.
Broken or Missing Discharge Doors
“Discharge Doors” (referred to as a “guillotine” door) are designed to close automatically in the event of a fire.
4.
Broken or missing Trash Chute Doors
All doors that act as trash intake doors must be fire-rated. They must also self close and self-latch, to prevent smoke and flame from escaping through them.
