Patching & Repairs
At Northeast Fireproofing, we don’t just walk away when a project is complete. We stand behind our work and return to perform any patching and repair work that may have been caused by other trades while they completed their scope. Fireproofing is often damaged by follow-on trades — electrical, plumbing, HVAC — and we are there to restore it to code-compliant condition.
We also perform repair and patching work on existing fireproofing systems in occupied and operational buildings. Whether it’s a small patch or a large-scale restoration project, our crews can assess the condition of existing SFRM and restore it to meet current fire rating requirements.
Our Patching Services Include:
- Post-construction fireproofing repairs
- Damage repair from follow-on trades
- Existing building SFRM restoration
- Code compliance assessments
- Emergency patching services

Common Fireproofing Repair Scenarios
- Post-Construction Trade Damage: Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing contractors frequently damage SFRM during installation of hangers, clips, conduit, ductwork, and piping. We repair these areas efficiently to restore code compliance.
- Building Renovations: Renovation and fit-out projects often require removal and replacement of fireproofing in affected areas. Northeast Fireproofing coordinates with GCs to minimize disruption to occupied spaces.
- Aging Facility Restoration: Older buildings often have fireproofing that has become friable, delaminated, or contaminated. We perform condition assessments and repair or replace SFRM as required.
- Code Compliance Upgrades: Changes to building occupancy or use may trigger fire resistance requirements that require new or upgraded fireproofing in specific areas.
- Emergency Response: We provide emergency patching services when fire or water damage has compromised the fireproofing on structural members requiring immediate attention. We can perform demolition of the affected area and respray new fireproofing.
Our Repair Process
Every repair project begins with an on-site evaluation by our project manager to assess the scope, identify the original SFRM product and required thickness, and confirm compatibility with our repair materials. We match the existing fireproofing system wherever possible to ensure a seamless, code-compliant result. All work is documented and we provide certifications confirming the repaired areas meet the required fire resistance rating.
Northeast Fireproofing is fully licensed and insured to work in occupied facilities throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland. Our crews are OSHA-trained and experienced working in sensitive environments including active hospitals, schools, and government buildings. Contact us today to schedule a site visit and assessment.
