Water Treatment & Fireproofing in Tacoma, WA
Some building systems serve a critical but often unseen role—protecting your property, health, and structure from long-term damage. At Mega General Construction, we provide specialized water treatment and fireproofing services throughout Tacoma, WA. Whether you're improving residential safety or meeting commercial code requirements, our team integrates these systems into both new construction and remodeling projects with precision.
Tacoma’s wet climate and strict fire codes make both services vital for maintaining compliance, safety, and property value. We handle installation, integration, and upgrades for residential, commercial, and mixed-use buildings.
Water Treatment System Installation for Tacoma Properties
Water treatment isn’t just about taste—it’s about protecting your pipes, improving appliance longevity, and ensuring safe, efficient water use in homes and businesses across the Tacoma area. We install whole-house and point-of-use systems designed to match water quality concerns specific to the South Puget Sound region.
Filtration and Purification Systems
For homeowners concerned with sediment, chlorine, and other impurities, we install filtration systems tailored to Tacoma’s municipal water supply. These include sediment filters, activated carbon units, and multi-stage filtration systems for comprehensive water improvement.
Water Softening Equipment
Hard water causes mineral buildup in pipes, appliances, and fixtures. We install softening systems that remove calcium and magnesium through ion exchange, preventing scale and extending the life of water-using equipment.
Reverse Osmosis and Under-Sink Systems
For drinking water upgrades, reverse osmosis systems are commonly installed under kitchen sinks. These systems provide clean, filtered water while targeting specific contaminants like lead, fluoride, or nitrates.
Pressure Management and Pre-Filtration
In some Tacoma neighborhoods, fluctuating water pressure or sediment from old pipes creates additional concerns. We install pressure regulators, pre-filters, and flush systems that protect downstream equipment and improve water consistency.
Fireproofing Installation for Code Compliance and Fire Safety
Fireproofing isn’t just for industrial buildings. In Tacoma, fire-rated materials and assemblies are required in many residential and commercial construction settings. We provide fireproofing services that meet both performance and inspection standards for structural elements, walls, and floors.
Fire-Rated Coatings and Sprays
We apply intumescent coatings and cementitious sprays to structural steel, wood framing, and other load-bearing components. These coatings delay heat transfer, preserve integrity during a fire, and help meet hourly fire-resistance ratings.
Fire-Blocking and Draft-Stopping
Fire-blocking is required in concealed spaces like wall cavities and floor joists. We install mineral wool, fire caulk, and pre-manufactured blocks to prevent flame or smoke from traveling through hidden areas, especially in multi-story builds.
Fire-Resistant Drywall and Assemblies
We install Type X and other fire-rated drywall in garages, utility rooms, multifamily dwellings, and any area where building code mandates a fire-rated assembly. Our team follows UL-listed assemblies and ensures proper fastening and sealing to meet compliance.
Penetration Protection and Sealants
When pipes, wires, or ducts penetrate rated walls or floors, those openings must be sealed. We use tested fire-stop products to seal these penetrations and document installations for code inspectors and property records.
Meeting Code Requirements for Residential and Commercial Projects
Both fireproofing and water treatment systems are often tied to local or state code requirements—especially in multifamily housing, new home construction, and commercial tenant improvements. We ensure each installation meets Tacoma’s permitting and inspection standards.
Coordination with Building Inspectors
We schedule fireproofing inspections, water system approvals, and pressure tests in coordination with Tacoma’s permitting departments. This avoids delays and ensures final sign-offs for occupancy or system certification.
Supporting Documentation
When required, we provide material spec sheets, UL listings, and manufacturer documentation for water filtration equipment or fireproofing materials used on-site. This supports long-term maintenance and future resale disclosures.
Application-Specific Installations
Whether your project involves an ADU needing fire separation, a new build requiring softened water, or a commercial property with structural steel fireproofing needs, we tailor each installation to the exact use case.
Specialized Trades Serving All Tacoma Neighborhoods
Because these services aren’t one-size-fits-all, we provide custom quotes and site-specific evaluations for homes, rental units, and commercial spaces across Tacoma and surrounding areas.
Residential Water Treatment Services
In neighborhoods like South Tacoma and Fircrest, older plumbing systems and mixed water sources make filtration systems a smart upgrade. We tailor systems to the age of the home and its plumbing layout.
Fireproofing for New Homes and TIs
In areas like University Place or East Tacoma, many new builds and tenant improvements require firewall upgrades and draft stopping. We work with general contractors and developers to install compliant assemblies without delay.
